Blue Jay

No, I didn't take this photo of a Blue Jay in Oregon, although I did see one once in this state. I took it several years ago in Pennsylvania, which is where I am going tomorrow. I'm guessing that the first bird sound I hear after touching down in Philadelphia will be a Blue Jay, one of the most familiar sounds of summer in the eastern U.S., and a common background sound in outdoor scenes in movies and on TV. That's another one of the many bird lists I keep.
