I don't know about beautiful but this one here definitely seems more naughty and active. Lol.
Barefeet, it must be so exciting to have pet wild/wild pet? birds. You haven't put them up, have you?

Scrub jays are so very special. Here's our east coast version: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/687.... I'm torn as to which is more handsome. Thanks for sharing this beauty.

They are characters. We are used to the loud-mouthed blue-jays from back east. We have 2 scrub-jays and 1 in particular who comes when you call him. The dog even seems to be getting used to him stealing her food.
