I want to share with you all a bird very near to my heart, and his story. A thread about Blue Guy and Blue Gal, a mated pair of Steller's Jay that I met in San Francisco.

This is some of my earliest photography; I bought a camera just to take pictures of this specific bird. I won't be re-editing these shots, as much as I want to, to realistically show what beginner photography looks like.

A🧵, please boost if you enjoy and want to share with others ^v^

Up in the misty mountains west of SF, many different species of wonderful native birds thrive. Corvids of all shapes and sizes too, ravens, crows, and the colorful personalitied Steller's Jay. I had the luck to be spending my time in a somewhat remote cabin during the summer, and got to see many beautiful sights.

nostr:npub146jgwchwtjqxmsgscwdhjug80rwlm5552jgdmjm4ex4wdpusepns3uxt3c Steller's/Pine jays always made me think of a bird character designed by furries because of their intense colors. And they seem like crows with less attitude but smarter than blue jays.

I used to live in a place in Socal with a friendly blue jay that would take peanuts and hide them. Only problem was he considered putting a single leaf on top of the peanut to be hiding it. So another blue jay would steal it and then do the same thing. This would go on for a long time with every peanut.

I never saw what our nearby pine jays did with the nuts/kibble we put out. They were too skittish. It's amazing you got this much from the ones you met.
