I see jays often. In the mountains I see Stellar Jays, sometimes even Gray Jays. In town, I always see Scrub Jays.
What I don’t see is Blue Jays. It’s not that they aren’t out here, normally they aren’t. But during the winter a Blue Jay will show up…but never when and where I go to see it.
I knew that if I was to ever get a photo of a Blue Jay, I would have to head east. So in late April I was in Illinois and I looked and looked for a Blue Jay so I could shoot it (with my Canon of course).
On one of my last days there, I was at my mom’s place and there, in the trees, eyeballing her feed station, was a Blue Jay.
Misty Dawn’s Camera Critter Meme is a great way see critters the world over. Go to the homepage here to see more. Then join the fun and add your own.

Very pretty! I love taking pics of birds!
Thatz lovely:)
That's a beauty!
nice bird
We have blue jays in abundance. I'd love to see a blue bird. Jays are loud and not very kind to the other feathered critters.
Glad you found something you've never seen. They are gorgeous birds; just wish they were kinder.
Beautiful shot of the Bluejay!
We don't often get a glimpse of blue jays in South Texas. Such a beautiful bird. I love the colors and clarity of your photo.
