Some random shots taken yesterday morning of this beautiful bird. As I stood around, waiting for the eagle action to pick up, I noticed this blue jay hop down to the lake’s shore. The sun had just popped over the horizon casting a beautiful, warm glow on everything and really lighting up the plumage on the little bird.
