Never seen a Gray Jay before...........

I never seen or heard of them.. beautiful........

Their real name is Canada Jay. They are known as the "camp robber" because they are kind of a pest. They will fly by and take food from your hand if you're not careful. This past weekend, a couple of them landed on our campsite table and one tried to fly off with a plastic spoon. I'm a bird lover as these guys are really close to being considered a nuisance. Stellar's Jays have that reputation too but Gray Jays are worse.

wow great info.. i looked them up and they did not say anything negative about them.. they did say they are not endangered..lol.. they are very pretty.. and glad you posted this one and now we know..

"Grey jays adapt to human activity in their territories and are known to approach humans for food, inspiring a list of colloquial names including 'lumberjack', 'camp robber', and 'venison-hawk.'"

Great shot Jeff. I notice that the UK Nuthatch is just a little different than the ones here on the east coast of the US.

Here's a group of Western Blue Birds. Just a lucky shot to have caught this many on a bird bath at the same time.

Thank you! It was pure luck. I happened to have my camera sitting on the counter and looked out the kitched window when I saw all these blue birds descend on the old water pan. I quickly grabbed the camera, opened the door and popped off several shots.

The common myna or Indian myna (Acridotheres tristis), is a member of the family Sturnidae (starlings and mynas) native to Asia. An omnivorous open woodland bird with a strong territorial instinct, the myna has adapted extremely well to urban environments.

No, it doesn't have 4 legs. There are two of them

This is what it looks like, alone
