Peek-a-Blue
This blue jay (Cyanocitta cristata) seemed to be playing a game with me, peeking mischievously around the edge of the wooden bird feeder in the middle of my backyard.

This image shows a blue jay (Cyanocitta cristata) in the moment of dropping a peanut it had just retrieved from a swing-shaped feeder. The bird's gaze is fixed on the peanut as it tumbles toward the ground.

Good morning. 
12 March 2025
My old desk has a keyboard tray, but I prefer to type with the keyboard in my lap and my legs propped up on the desk's edge. This morning, after spending several minutes crafting a paragraph, I placed the keyboard back in its tray and stepped away to feed the dogs. When I returned, I grabbed the keyboard, and as I lifted it, one of the keys struck the desk—poof, just like that, my work disappeared. At least it gave me something else to ramble about. Back when I worked, I did some coding and writing, so I know the importance of backing up regularly and even backing up the backup. Despite that, I still write directly in the app. Maybe I should start composing in a word processor... but nah, that would make far too much sense.

Food Fight!
Birds can be quite messy eaters, especially woodpeckers and blue jays like this one, energetically tossing seeds aside in search of their favorite morsel. For both species, that favorite is often a peanut, though my mix also includes almonds and raisins, which might catch their interest. It’s fascinating to watch just how selective they can be!

I thought that whenever I don’t have specific art to share, it’s time to post art about Canada. 
FOR REASONS.
I thought I would start, like Confederation, in PEI. The symbols of Prince Edward Island, its provincial bird, the blue jay and its tree, the red oak cover the hand-carved map of PEI in this linocut.

Peanut Drop Drama
In the soft light of early morning, the crisp air brims with quiet anticipation. A blue jay (Cyanocitta cristata) perches on the edge of a weathered wooden bird feeder, its vibrant plumage—a striking blend of blue, black, and white—standing out against the pale sky. Clutching a prized peanut, hard-won from the feeder, the bird seems momentarily triumphant. But in an instant of distraction—perhaps caught off guard by the presence of a watchful photographer—the peanut slips from its beak, tumbling toward the ground below. Oops.

Blue Jay with a Treat
This morning, there were many birds around as Charlie and I sat outside. It was sunny, but the temperature was chilly enough to send a shiver down my spine. I wore a sweatshirt and probably should have added a coat. A bold blue jay (Cyanocitta cristata) visited us, foraging through the bird seed for at least a couple of minutes. In my experience, blue jays aren't really grazers.

Bird on a Branch
When I was a teenager, someone once told me that blue and green don't match. I'm not sure why it's important to match, but that's what I was told. During the summer, when taking photographs, I often get these forest green backgrounds because, well, there's a forest. Anyway, I think the blue jay (Cyanocitta cristata) and the forest go just fine together.

Winter Forage
I captured this photo a few days ago following a snowstorm. The blue jay (Cyanocitta cristata) is in the midst of opening a sunflower seed.
You know, the photographs I post here aren't as vivid as the originals in my Pixel's gallery. I reduce their size and slightly decrease their quality to make them easier to load.

Soaring Among the Trees
Blue jays (Cyanocitta cristata) spend much of their time flying between trees and weaving through the branches. Here is one that I captured from below in mid-flight.
No need to weave through the branches to reach my gallery—just click below:
Blue Jay with a Treat
Bue jay (Cyanocitta cristata) photos seem ultra popular. Here is one that I took just a couple of days ago.
"The Blue Jay frequently mimics the calls of hawks, especially the Red-shouldered Hawk. These calls may provide information to other jays that a hawk is around or may be used to deceive other species into believing a hawk is present." - allaboutbirds.org
