Blue Jay (Cyanocitta cristata) - 02May2016

Blue Jays are super cool but suffer from familiarity.  That being said, if you can't appreciate the stunning colors of a Blue Jay, you might as well end it.  A cool fact about Blue Jays, they are good mimics and specifically can do a mean Red-shouldered Hawk impersonation.

I don't photograph birds in my yard enough, and I have been really bad about keeping a yard list.  So I might as well start with this one.
