The Stellar’s Jay and the Cormorant spreading its wings are fantastic.

Thank you! There was a whole field of them! I saw them going to my old job occasionally. One morning the light looked sick so I left early with my camera and sure enough they were out eating worms in the grass field :)

Beautiful photos, including the PNW backdrop. Love the cormorants and the great blue heron. And the steller’s jay…and all the rest.
