I saw a flock of birds the other day, up near the transition between sagebrush and pinyon/juniper. This meant the flock was pinyon jays, a neat bird. You usually don't see them alone--they like to hang out in big groups. Despite this, very little is known about where they nest. I figured that this would be a good opportunity to try to photograph them, after all, there were a lot.
But when I started following them, they kept flying farther away. I persevered and got a couple okay shots, so you can at least see that they really are pinyon jays!
They are really bright blue, a very pretty color. They hang out in this area year round, and it sure is nice to see their splash of color.
By the way, the
Great Backyard Bird Count is coming up soon, February 17-20. This is a good excuse to check out what's in your yard.
Beautiful pics!
