Daily Postcard: Steller’s Jay Perches On Patio Chair

Daily Postcard: A Steller’s Jay perches on the back of a patio chair on Tuesday in Western Area. Steller’s Jays are large songbirds with large heads, chunky bodies, rounded wings, and a long, full tail. The bill is long, straight, and powerful, with a slight hook. They have a prominent triangular crest that often stands nearly straight up from their head. Like other jays, Steller’s Jays are bold, inquisitive, intelligent, and noisy. They spend much of their time exploring the forest canopy, flying with patient wingbeats. They come to the forest floor to investigate visitors and look for food, moving with decisive hops of their long legs. Source: allaboutbirds.org. Photo by Spook Kellem
