A Pinyon Jay scouts out the feeder.

So I gather you're not on the east coast right now....

Beautiful bird.

We're seeing a ton of blue jays around here this year. They were common but then had largely disappeared for a number of years. But they're back, cawing up a storm.

Scrub jays were common in Utah.
Don't see any in Tucson or Colorado.

Saw a Phainopepla on a morning walk in Tucson.

Anyone know how I can shrink that photo? I pulled it off of my own FB feed.

Yes, we're in Santa Fe now, after a brutal two day dash from Virginia. We hauled lots of stuff here, including pottery produced in .... northern New Mexico (bringing it home in a sense).

We don't have eastern blue jays here. You can see some Stellars, some Woodhouse Jays, and these Pinyon Jays. The Pinyon Jays often travel in flocks, so I've read. But this fellow was solitary.

I saved your photo to my computer, then uploaded it to postimages and resized it.

For some reason, postimages wouldn't let me directly copy and resize the original photo, so I had to do the extra step to save to my PC.

I added that resized postimages version to your original post. If you're satisfied with it, then just edit your post and delete your large FB photo.
