Pat and I spied this gorgeous bird in Cheyenne Cañon on April 23rd. I managed to get a decent picture of it, but neither of us had any idea what kind of bird it was. I had to do a little internet sleuthing to figure it out. It's a Steller's jay Macrolopha, and apparently they are native to this area, but this is the first time I've ever seen one. Beautiful!

It has such a vivid shade of blue to it. We don't get that kind of jay here, just blue and gray jays, which both have real character.
Beautiful capture!
