Hello, Bird Lovers!
I recently met two Steller’s Jays with distinctive white forehead streaks and pale markings above the eyes. I suspect they may be the southern Rocky Mountain form.
These bold, sometimes aggressive birds are fascinating! Interestingly, Steller’s Jays on Haida Gwaii (Queen Charlotte Islands), BC, have almost entirely black heads and crests.
Amazing how birds vary across regions!
