Blue Jays Of The Vermilon River- A Post to Blue Monday




These guys amuse me to no end with their squawking in the woods when I'm trying to be quiet in a woodsy way, but I still think they're one of the finest looking winter birds that we get.

I had posted this information earlier on another Blue Jay post with different photos. But here goes again:

If you remove the Hummingbird from of the sun, it will lose its brilliant colours. The colour is in the way nature has constructed its feathers which refract the sunlight into the birds' vivid colours.Similarly, the tail feathers of the Blue Jay are constructed to reflect those vivid blue and white colours.

A Post To Blue Monday.
