Steller's Jay

haiku

Blue sky greets this day

Steller’s jay dark blue tops tree

shrieks breaking the peace

Note: The Steller's is a favorite jay of mine with raucous shrieks like "shock, shock," head topped with black crest. The "corvid" family includes jays, ravens and crows - all very intelligent birds.

    I love a jay too. Don't see our British jay too often but it's a treat when you do and in Canada, I loved seeing a Blue Jay - in the trees, not holding a bat!

  • Wish we had more colourful birds here. This was a great Haiku tribute!
