| Blue Jay Feather - Author's Picture |
The above picture was taken in June of 2025. I had been seeing a lot of blue jays in the yard. I saw bright blue birds and some that were not quite as colorful. I think the bright ones are male, and the less bright ones are female. They're very vocal creatures.
I'd been trying to see if I could find a feather. It's not too impressive, and I have found beautiful, perfect feathers in the past. Officially, the bird is called Cyanocitta cristata. There are four subspecies of them. Oh, I took the feather back outside and put it on the ground.
