Steller's Jays are so colorful, not only in plumage but also in character. These western birds are known for their incessant demands for attention, and for appearing to be underfed. They strut across campsites and picnic tables, looking stern, fabulous, and famished. In some ways, they remind me of runway models, so let's go with a description inspired by the fashion industry.
The Stellar's Jay is sporting a bold color-block of cerulean and slate, punctuated with eye-catching stripes, geometric patterns, and diaphanous accents. The headdress lends to a dramatic silhouette, giving a look that is fierce and powerful. The dainty ice-blue lines on the accoutrement give an illusion of illumination, elevating the crest to high-fashion status and adding an air of sophistication. The aesthetic is equal parts joyful and gritty glamour - sleek and subtle with just a hint of drama.
This classic but truly chic bird is guaranteed to be disruptive at all of the campsites and picnic areas this year, but there are no plans to appear on the catwalks (or anything involving cats).
Be fabulous, darlings! 💕
(Side note: the coloration of the Steller's varies somewhat, depending on the population and range)
