Stellar's Jay, Yosemite Valley, California

.

While visiting Yosemite National Park in mid April 2013 I spied this Stellar's Jay in a bush near the Visitors Center.

I had captured Stellar's Jay once before, 2 years prior.  You can see that attempt here, at, Stellar's Jay, Bryce Canyon, Utah.

And, a bit of zoom, after chasing him (or is it a her) around the busy with Sony Too:

Still a difficult capture, in this shot (s)he is hiding her/his dark head in front of that dark branch of the bush.
