I never tire of examining the plumage of Green Jays…the blacks and blues, the greens and yellows along with their chartreuse sibling. When I peer at them long enough, I see ocean beaches. I see Caribbean creamsicles, a coral reef with wings. And this makes my eyes melt.
Note the jay's slightly open beak. It had just picked up a small seed, repositioned itself on the perch, and was about to fly away into the shrubs. (Rio Grande Valley Birding Festival, Texas, 2009).
