Western Scrub-Jay


 
BetterPhoto.com Photo Contest Finalist   Western Scrub-Jay
Western Scrub-Jay
The “blue jay” of dry Western lowlands, the Western Scrub-Jay combines deep azure blue with dusty gray-brown and white. The rounded, crestless head immediately sets it apart from Blue Jays and Steller’s Jays.
Fairly rare in Central Texas.

  There's nothing left to say, you talented rascal!

Back in the spring I set out to shoot a few closeups of vultures. I staked out a 5 lb. piece of beef with a 10 inch spike and hid in the cedars. Vultures appeared almost immediately, circled a few times, honed in on my presence and left the area. Within a few more minutes two scrub jays showed up. One would eat the beef while one watched from a cedar .. then they took turns.
They were the first scrub jays I'd seen at Ogletree Gap but don't see them routinely.
