Steller's Jay is Stellar in My Book!

I think the Steller's Jay is pretty stellar! It qualifies on account of it being a preeminent star in the bird world, at least IMHO!

Definition of 'Stellar":

1. of or relating to the stars; consisting of stars.

2. like a star, as in brilliance, shape, etc.

3. pertaining to a preeminent performer, athlete, etc.

Steller's Jay was captured in Alton Baker Park.

They are something to see, and there's no way you can avoid hearing them screech out their endless bulletins about what's going on.

Stunning! So, you converted to the D500? V
Eloine 05-Nov-2016 06:01
I like them too. I think I read that they are related to crows which surprised me because they don't look at all alike. They do however have a lot the same personality and intelligence.
Bryan Murahashi05-Nov-2016 05:30
Well captured with the D500. Beautiful Jay.
