Steller’s Jay
Steller’s Jay This guy was just having a good time hanging out in the evergreen trees at about the 8000 foot level on our hike. My bird knowledge is limited, but I think it’s a Steller’s Jay. Looks a bit like a Blue Jay, but clearly, is not. He did not seem terribly upset with our passing through his territory so a few simple clicks were easily captured. Again, the Nikon 1 V1 with the 70-300 lens made the click. There’s nothing like a good, light camera on a hike uphill.
