Great photo! I always love these guys. The goth versions of Blue Jays!
I don't want to be pedantic but it's "Steller's Jay".
The bird is named after the German naturalist Georg Wilhelm Steller, the first European to record them, in 1741. source
Thank you for pointing this out. I wasn't aware of this movement. It seems like a great idea!
Yeah. I found it interesting. I have heard rumors that “ Audubon” might rename as well due to controversy around its namesake having been a slave trader.
@Durandal @Vorticity not a rumor.
Yes! I think they look like edgy Blue Jays haha!
Thank you so much!! I will edit!!
