Beautiful bird, it almost looks like something tropical other than the Jay shaped head and beak. I think they are a more tropical bird. This is pretty far north to be seeing them. Another bright spot this year is the lack of grackles. Not seen many of them. Or the brown head cowbirds either. Molɔ̀ːn Labé Skýla!

Pretty birds. ~Molɔ̀ːn Labé Skýla~ “Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.” ISAIAH 41:10

This winter that's it. We don't even have the collared doves that we've had in past winters. A half dozen quail have wandered by a couple times but most of the time they're somewhere else. “In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act.” ― George Orwell It's not over when you lose.
