Scrub Jay


It's Springtime, the flowers are blooming and the Scrub Jay, Aphelocoma coerulescens, is back (and with a girlfriend, I might add)! Scrub Jays are a member of the crow family and frequent brushy areas and chaparral, which I happen to have in my back yard. They are rumored to tame and get quite used to people although the pair in my back yard are pretty shy. This picture was taken with a 500mm lens.
