Looks like he is in mid-squawk! I love the Steller Jays - never saw any until I moved West. We had scrub jays too.

When we were at Bryce Canyon we saw these tattle tales. Here we have just the regular Ole Blue Jays that are just as loud.

And you got him on film, sweet! Awesome shot.

JAN 2015 / Photo Fun / Mini #8 News

1-6-2015... Perhaps Mr. Jabberjaws is spreading the ''NEWS'' that the kooky woman with the camera is in the neighborhood looking for subjects to shoot. Steller's Jays are very vocal ... I call them ''the tattle-tales of the woods". More often than not, you will hear them, but not see them as they hide high up in the trees watching for possible danger. When the threat of danger is present they will start ''squawking'' loudly. This alerts other birds and animals who quickly scamper for cover. They are also very good at imitating different sounds ... some Jays are very clever as they will imitate birds of prey in an effort to scare other birds away from feeding areas. [P1063010]
