#575, a pyrrhuloxia! These birds along with stellar's jays fascinated me when looking through our big animal guide books. I've seen the jays now but looking forward to seeing one of these!

Requests for birds are open, updates happen on Thursdays. [project tag] | [kofi]

[ostriches-because-i-said-so]

wow birds sure do have names! Here's some of society's favorites:

Cardinal

Blue jay

Hawk

Sparrow

Eagle

In comparison here are some of my favourite bird names:

Dickcissel

Tufted Titmouse

Wall creeper

Pyrrhuloxia

Emu

That last one is mostly a dedication to my friend @i-may-be-an-emu but emu is still a neat and silly name anyway so it works.

I found an SD card from last year that I never went through

And oh my goodness there were some gems in there I'd never seen

Like I'm no expert photographer but I did a good job

Hello! Do u have any facts about Steller's Jay or Pyrrhuloxia?

Of course my friend!

The Steller's Jay and the Blue Jay are the only New World jays that use mud to build their nests.

Steller's jays can imitate the vocalizations of many species of birds, other animals, and even sounds of non-animal origin. They often will imitate the calls of red-tailed hawks, red-shouldered hawks, and osprey, causing other birds to seek cover and flee feeding areas.

Foraging winter flocks of Pyrrhuloxias may number as many as 1,000 birds.

Though they will drink at pools of water when possible, Pyrrhuloxias seem to get most of their water from their insect food in spring and summer.

Hope you enjoy these! sorry it took so long! have a wonderful day my friend!
