Blue Jay Photos

Photography by Terry Sohl

My Favorite: Given that Blue Jays are around all year long, and given that I live across the street from the Big Sioux Recreation Area, a state park where you can always find them, I don't have a huge number of photos of them. They do come to my yard, but are surprisingly camera shy. Not what you think of for a Blue Jay, because they always seem to be brash and vocal.

My favorite photo is from October of 2013 in Minnehaha County, South Dakota.
