Steller’s Jay

While hiking Waterton Canyon, I came upon a couple of Steller’s Jays. Here are a couple of images of these beautiful birds:

These jays are found in mature forests of mountains and west coasts. This is the first time I’ve seen this far east, but on my travels to Alaska, they are quite common along the coastline.

  • Canon EF 100mm-400mm, f/4.5-f/5.6 IS lens + Canon 1.4x TC (shot at 560mm)
