One of our favorite Steller's jays that visits us almost every day 💙🖤

#Birds #Corvids #Jays #BackyardBirds #Photography #Blue #Black #Edmonds #Besties #BFF #PrettyBird

It's crest is standing up and light is shining through it, some of its feathers are ruffled because of wind, and there are pieces of dirt on its beak because it oftentimes digs through the yard looking for food.

Possibly the cutest fish you’ll see all day today, a Pacific spiny lumpsucker 🤗
