The Jays...


A California Scrub Jay

A Steller's Jay drinking from an icy fountain.

Most birds have to tip back their heads to swallow the water they drink. 

What a complicated feather pattern.
And blue feather are weird as most are not really blue, it is the light reflecting on the feathers that makes them appear blue.

Now for a little guy.
Male Lesser Goldfinch.

And a tree full of Pine Siskins.

What a pretty Love piece you stitched, Beth! I love the "blue" of the Steller's Jay. I did not know that about most and swallowing water.
