Federal Reserve blue jay

This blue jay was across the street from Constitution Gardens, on the grounds of the Federal Reserve building, where we had found several of them before. I don’t know, but maybe he was molting as he doesn’t look quite as beautiful as usual.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.

Yeah, kind of a bad hair day. But I love the expression. Excellent photo.

Nice, probably a young bird.

I think it is a young blue jay. It has not yet many feathers.

A great closeup - you really have his attention. And he's a beautiful bird.

A sweet shot, but, yes he does look a bit scruffy.

Nice sharp shot and good eye contact with this somewhat molting Jay Tim.
