Hello, the Green Jay is on my list of bird I most want to see. It is a beautiful bird, so colorful and pretty. Most of these birds would be new to me, I should plan a birding trip to Texas. Great photos. Thanks for hosting. Enjoy your day, happy weekend!

The Green Jay is so beautiful! I have only seen them in he Lower Rio Grande Valley.

can´t remember ever seeing a shot of the Green jay before. Such a unique pattern on it´s head. Beautiful. The titmouse is always a pleasure to see. :)

I so would love to see a green jay in real life...they are beautiful. But then, what bird isn't. Even the starling is beautiful when you really look at it.

The jay is stunning! We have birds similar to the other ones. Thanks for hosting.

Some iconic Texas birds here that take me back to the several times I have birded the lower Rio Grande Valley. I hope the border wall is not going to destroy much of the wonderful habitat there. If I had to pick one favourite spot it would be the Santa Ana NWR where Green Jay and Ladder-backed Woodpecker were almost a sure thing, along with Plain Chachalaca, and I always found Buff-bellied Hummingbird in the parking lot.

There are some rather special birds there Anni. The Green Jay is my favourite one and i can't help but think that with that camouflage colouration it must be fairly difficult to see when in trees and bushes.

You would be more than welcome to come along to our ringing forays. We don't get to many visitors from over the pond - just those eternal storms!

Thanks for the link today. It's always fun to join in.

the black crested titmouse wins cutest pic of today. I love the green jay and showed it to bob, and we agree we have never seen one...

I don't know what happened to my comment from yesterday! But I'm glad you mentioned it! I love that Green Jay and wonder if we would ever see it here. I'll have to search for it online. That's a different woodpecker too. You really got some nice photos on your stroll. We walked yesterday and saw fewer birds than we see in our feeders! heehee! Just one of those days! Where can we go today? Have a good one! Hugs!

As stated by Stanford Medical, It is indeed the SINGLE reason women in this country get to live 10 years longer and weigh 19 KG less than us.

(And really, it is not about genetics or some secret-exercise and absolutely EVERYTHING around "HOW" they are eating.)

BTW, I said "HOW", not "what"...
