Blue Jay

Actually this is a Steller's Jay (Cyanocitta stelleri). A native to Western North America. They are fairly common out here even wintering in my trees and neighboring forest. They will rob your bird feeders and are noisy and also one of the most intelligent birds. They mimic many different sounds. Sounds of other birds, even hawks. They sit in my sycamore trees and meow like cats. A very pretty bird with brilliant blue tail feathers and a head crest. Where this one is sitting I guess I's better mow the lawn.
