Awesome close ups! They are beautiful. Love their blue colouring. I have visited the Oregon coast before (Lincoln Beach). I have relatives in Portland. One day I will return and this time I will bring my camera.
Wonderfully stellar Stellar, Cindy. (Forgive the pun please!) You seem to make critter friends wherever you travel, no matter what state or even country. How lovely that is. Best, Babsje
Handsome, indeed, Cindy, he is a looker! I love Stellar Jays! They used to hang out in our Tuolumne Meadows campground waiting for anything to drop to the ground. Quite large and very social!
He’s cute! These guys are the official bird of British Columbia. I think they’re related to crows. I remember hearing a bunch of them creating a tremendous racket near a road I was walking along. Sounded like a family fight!
This birdie’s so pretty and beautiful! I am an animal lover must of, and I found your blog totally awesome. I don’t support animal in cages and zoos, and I am glad you portray their beautifully world!
I became acquainted with Stellar jays while visiting the Rockies but never saw these youngsters. Timing I suppose. Thank you for sharing their adorableness. 🙂

Hello Cindy! I hope all is well, and you are all stay save. Sorry, it seems my second name is delay. 😉 I really had missed your sometimes very mysterious neighbors. Lol This one is looking like on a ranting tour. Unbelievble how different and wonderful birds mother nature has. Best wishes, Michael
I am so happy to hear from you and introduce you to more of my neighbors Michael. I agree with you. Mother Nature has creations to amaze and astound us everyday. Stay safe and well my friend დ
Cindy, I just reveled in your beautiful lake photo, and now I am astounded at your bird photos. Photographers who can capture beauty from afar and also up close AND bring emotion to the viewer on either end, are the best of the best. I’m so glad you are among that group.
Pretty little thing 😄
Yes. So sweet too დ
Beautiful.
Grazie Timothy დ
Bad hair day. I look like that sometimes. What a cutie.
Yep. I do too, but he actually looks cuter! 😉
They are such beautiful birds. I love the iridescence of their feathers….especially mature ones…in the sun!
Yes. Gorgeous creatures დ
wow, look at that boy, beautiful and eyes like know it all attitude. He looks like a dressed up teenager Cindy. Beautiful post.
He is a dressed up teenager!!! 😉 😉
What a beauty! And his hairstyle is gorgeous! 🙂
He is going to be a very handsome young adult! დ
Stunning and handsome indeed! Beautiful, Cindy!!
Thank you Donna დ
Gorgeous colors! In nature can we find the most inspiring art. Thank you for sharing. 💖
Mother Nature is the ultimate artist დ
I think I’ve seen one of those in the grocery store. 🙂
Maybe a bar …. fifty years ago
Laughing……I am certain you did!!! 😉
Awesome close ups! They are beautiful. Love their blue colouring. I have visited the Oregon coast before (Lincoln Beach). I have relatives in Portland. One day I will return and this time I will bring my camera.
I can’t wait to follow you virtually when you do! დ
Awesome!
Grazie mille დ
Such a handsome bird! ❤️☺️
And sweet too დ
There are days that I’d like to be a bird too…
Ditto. We could fly away! დ
This reminds me of the old song Up Up and Away in my Beautiful Balloon!
I remember that song!
Yes, it’s The Fifth Demension! Wonderful memories.
How gorgeous, Cindy! What a beauty, and shot beautifully!
How many different Holler birds have you shot now?
Oh boy, I don’t know. There are around 600 species of birds where I live, but I haven’t seen many of them. Thank you for your lovely thoughts Resa დ

Wonderfully stellar Stellar, Cindy. (Forgive the pun please!) You seem to make critter friends wherever you travel, no matter what state or even country. How lovely that is. Best, Babsje
Thank you very much. I love the wild ones, just like you, and they seem to know it! დ
Absolutely gorgeous!!
Much appreciated! Thank you very much დ
You are very welcome! 🙂
What part of the coast? We live at the north end in Gearhart. Many Stellars live around us.
Gearhart is gorgeous. We were far south of you, and are heading southeasterly now დ
VERY handsome!
He’s growing into quite a looker! 😉
Very pretty.
Grazie დ
Cindy, thank you for these wonderful photographs!
I am just very pleased you enjoyed them & thank you sincerely Charles დდ
Reblogged this on charles french words reading and writing and commented:
Here are beautiful photographs from Cindy Knoke!
Your thoughtfulness is much appreciated Charles. დდ
Stellar photos! 🙂 Is the fifth one of a female? Thanks for sharing these; so beautiful.
Smiling…… He could be a she. I don’t know how to sex Stellars. Adult males are bigger than females, but besides this, they look the same to me დ
Your photos do justice to his beauty, Cindy — thanks for sharing your new friend with us!
Awwww……. I <3 my friends who <3 birds! Thank you Debbie დ
Fabulous photos as always Cindy and you really captured his personality
Thank you Sheree. He was winsome დ
😎
what a sweetheart… you on the road again? be safe.. take care..
We have been traveling for awhile now, but we are heading homeward. Thank you for caring დ
So incredibly sweet and beautiful. <3
You are the BEST Gigi! Thank you დდ

He’s a beauty and he know it, Cindy, lovely photos.
Leslie xoxo
You’re right….. Just like the twins!! 😉
😉
What a winsome fellow!!
He was a sweetheart დ
🙂
Thanks for the cheers and the lovely stellar photo. Cindy!
You are most welcome Peter & take good care დ
I cannot believe the detail you were able to obtain. These photos are exquisite, and you should be very proud of them.
Ohhh, I am truly honored. Thank you very much დ
What a cutie! Beautiful captures, Cindy. 🙂
Grazie mille Eliza დ
Beauties!
Yes indeed! დ
Great pics! I wish that jay lived in my neck of the woods–how beautiful!
I would love him at The Holler too, but the scrub jays might feel jealous! 😉
What a little beauty. I’m rather taken with the slightly punk semi-Mohican hairstyle.
Huge Hugs
Yes, he is avant garde! დ
😎 cool shots 🙂 I miss the Stellar & Scrub Jays mooching peanuts from me in Park City, Utah in the 80’s
I would miss that too! I know they love peanuts დ
What a cute little baby
He was very sweet დ
Handsome, indeed, Cindy, he is a looker! I love Stellar Jays! They used to hang out in our Tuolumne Meadows campground waiting for anything to drop to the ground. Quite large and very social!
That’s them! You can always find them in campgrounds and picnic tables. Smart birdies დ
Stellar joy just to look at this beautiful bluest-of-blues baby!
I <3 my friends who <3 birds! დ
So handsome! I love his pompadour.
He is very stylish!! 😉
Beautiful bird and images Cindy. The bluejays here are different; blue, grey, and white.
I’ve seen yours. They are so beautiful! დ
These are great pictures – I have never seen a bird like this on the East Coast. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you more for you kind appreciation & happy you enjoyed დ
Such delicate features – lovely capture Cindy.
Thank you Rebecca & hope all is well with you my friend დ
Such a cutie-pie! 💙
He was a sweetie დ
He’s cute! These guys are the official bird of British Columbia. I think they’re related to crows. I remember hearing a bunch of them creating a tremendous racket near a road I was walking along. Sounded like a family fight!
I had no idea they were the official bird of British Columbia! They do tend to get rather scoldy!! 😉
No creature is as noisy as us humans. When I hear birds chirping or screeching I generally go and take a look to see what they’re up to.
True, on both points. And when I hear humans screeching, I run the other way!
Oh, how adorable.
Yes, he was a heartbreaker! დ
💙
Awww… so pretty!!! Your posts always have some treat to our eyes. 😃😃 Thanks for sharing ❤️
Thank you for your very kind appreciation დ
So beautiful..never saw type of bird.
Happy to introduce you! დ
What a beautiful bird!!! Lucky you for getting to be his friend!
Yes, I felt honored დ
How sweet Cindy!🥰
He was a very sweet little birdie დ
Charming! Reminds me of this rocker. What do you think?

Perfect match! These guys know their blues!! 😉 😉
Such fun
Thank you Derrick. Happy you enjoyed დ
This birdie’s so pretty and beautiful! I am an animal lover must of, and I found your blog totally awesome. I don’t support animal in cages and zoos, and I am glad you portray their beautifully world!
It is a pleasure to meet a fellow animal lover. Cheers to you & thank you დ
Another beautiful friend, they are always welcome! ♥
Friends like these guys make everyday better! So do you my friend დ
Thank you Cindy! ♥ You too ♥
A real Prince Charming! In regal blue robes! And crowned with a fan of head feathers🌞Very handsome!😎
Awesome to hear from you. He is definitely royal material with a built in crown! Hope all is well with you დდ
Hot and roasty here! Watching less than colourful Brit’ birds from the window as the garden is alive with 10,000 ants! Hope all is awesome with you!
Still hot and roasty! Not good. At least the ants are happy…… Stay cool დ
Ahh…reminds me of James Brown in his flashy blue suit! Stellar shots as always, my friend! ◟(◔ั₀◔ั )◞ ༘❤️❤️❤️
‘Baby, you’re right!!’ 😉
ʸ(ᴖ́◡ु⚈᷉)♡⃛
You seem to have something of a monopoly on gorgeously-attired birds.
I am so happy if I do! Thank you დ
It looks like this small beauty loves to be photographed.
I think you’re right! He enjoyed the attention დ
Your shots of the birds are wonderful. 🙂
Thank you kind friend დ
Interesting mix of colours in the plumage!
✨🙏🕉🌱🌿🌳🌻💚🕊☯🐉✨
Yes, I thought so too! დ
Sweet
Yes, he was very sweet დ
We have a bunch of these babies around our house, Cindy. Noisy, bossy, and so beautiful.
Oh, so lucky you!!! დ
I became acquainted with Stellar jays while visiting the Rockies but never saw these youngsters. Timing I suppose. Thank you for sharing their adorableness. 🙂
You are most welcome & happy you enjoyed the dorb! დ
Beautiful bird! He does look curious! 🙂

So adorable. Love!
I <3 my friends who <3 birdies დ
The detail you’ve captured with your camera is glorious. I love Stellar Jays, with their crazy Don King “hair”.
And they do have that sort of Don King broadcasting volume to their scolding chatter! 😉
Love to see it 😍
Great to hear from you & glad you do დ
Hi Cindy, these are wonderful photographs!
Awww…. Thank you very much Charles & be well my friend დ
Looks like you’re heading north … 🚗🚗🚗
Actually south east now…
Stay clear of the smoke. I plan to send you an email in a day or so.
Look forward to that, and yes we are dodging fires as we head south….
Beautiful 🌹
Grazie mille დ
