Stellar's Jay (Cyanocitta stelleri) Posed

Reported to be one of the smartest birds, they're also one of the more aggressive around the bird feeder and the first to send out a warning when danger is present.

To me, however, they're just a beautiful bird!

Such a beautifully marked bird. For some reason I think of Halloween when I see these Varied Thrushes.
