I'm only noticing one thing, and that's the wrong coloration around the eyes. The white extends above the eyes, and there is typically a black half ring that delineates the white and blue above the eye.
There should be more white directly above the eye. Also, the dark "necklace" isn't very prominent. Theres also something odd about the wing, but I can't put my finger on it. Those are my best guesses!
not sure if it is just being short because of the snow, but it looks small/short. IIRC bluejays are taller and slimmer, but that may be because I'm used to seeing them in the summer
So, how well do you know your common birds? There are three things "wrong" with this Blue Jay. What are they?

ReplyDeleteEverything else looks right to me.

ReplyDeleteOK, so the white over the eye is missing. Black half ring in front of eye is missing. Still something else is off...
ReplyDeleteblack feathers directly above bill should be white (encircled in black). Nice feature!!
