Re: [cobirds] bird ID

What fun this bird is!  Thanks for sharing.  My question is what time of day were the photos taken?  I'm guessing dawn?  I have several times seen birds with the first rays of sun shining on them  from underneath and I'll swear they're yellow!  Then after they move around a while I discover they're not that color at all.  Just this morning I almost marked down a flock of Western Kingbirds that flew over, then decided they might have been Robins.  (You'd think I should be able to tell the difference!). This bird definitely has a Jay jizz, and a lot of Blue Jay specifics too.  And I'm guessing a lovely sunrise on its breast.
