In the Newfoundland forest, the Grey Jay is a beloved, well known bird. Its official name was Canada Jay until recently, since its range is mostly confined to the Canadian provinces. It is a non- migratory bird. Because of its fearless behaviour towards people living and working in the forest it has earned many local names of which Wiskey Jack is the best known, said to come from the mispronunciation of the Indian name "wiss-ka-tjon" or "wis-ka-chon" turned into "whiskey-John."
That's a great detailed shot. You must have a powerful digital cam. I only recently bought a 6mp 6x optical zoom, and have not done alot of picture taking yet, but am not sure if it will give me the fine detail such as yours.
ReplyDeleteThis is just a beautiful image. I love the background colors and the detail that you captured in the bird and feathers. Not to mention it just a really really cute bird!! :)
