A community for people who like birds, birdwatching and birding in general!
Feel free to share your photos and other birding-related content here. If a photo you post isn't yours, please credit the original creator! Additionally, it would be appreciated if the location of the sighting and a date were given when a photo or question is posted. You do not have to give the precise location, something like "Northern Idaho, June 2023" or even "North-Western US, June 2023" suffices.
I love Blue Jays so much. I haven't come across any jay nests myself, but I saw this and had to share!

Baby blue jays are very fluffy around the neck (we call it the mink stole!) but the neck between the head and shoulders at this age is devoid of all feathers. They will grow tho. In the meantime, the voice box works just fine!
John Mulaney?
Wow, I do see the resemblance!
The more I like at it, the more I hate it. ๐ฌ
Graaak!
I love Blue Jays too, but their song aren't exactly melodic.
The alert call can be a tad harsh, even to my ears, but when they are excited to see me and do the squeaky gate or the hungry baby sounds, especially when I can see them bobbing or flapping, I can't think of much that would be more charming.
Open mouth pic needs laser eyes lol
Incredible
