Birdland: Bold and Sassy
Steller’s Jays are bold, inquisitive, intelligent, and noisy. These jay birds, dark blue with stunning dark crowns, are found in the evergreen forests of Colorado and throughout the mountainous West. They are graceful in flight, swooping through the forest canopy, patrolling the woods. This Steller’s Jay was photographed at Devil’s Thumb Ranch in the north-central Colorado mountains by Park Hill resident Mark Silverstein.
