When we first arrived in Kitimat, the Stella Jays initially enthralled us with their vibrant colors. That lasted a week, maybe two. They squawk. They scare away the other birds. They’re messy eaters!
Then they disappeared, phew (which we had NOTHING to do with I assure you – thought it – but didn’t DO it!). Now they’re back…

Oddly they only like to pose for the camera in the morning but with the light behind them they turn into a bat-like image. For this capture I added some back-light, then some more. Brings out it’s inner-evil quite well I think!
If only it was this easy to silence them. Or better yet, move them to another back deck so my little Chickadees can once again feast in peace but… “mum, how much longer?”
