The world’s jays are some of the smartest and most interesting birds. Great colors and shots.

Thanks Stephen. Our guide said that it was uncommon to see Green Jays take a bath so it was nice to get these photos.

Ruth mentioned that it was somewhat rare to see them in the water so it was a good day.
