Stellar Steller's

With trees and shrubs leafing out, I'll often hear birds before spotting them--getting hard to find them and then find a line of sight. These Steller's Jays have a few calls that always throws me at first. I'd heard this one, not initially realizing what it was, but there it was all perched and pretty in a little opening. Surprised by how many shots (18) I took of this guy. (How can I not include them all?)!
"Steller's Jays give a loud and repeated shook shook shook shook call year-round, in flight, while perched, and during aggressive interactions. They also make a variety of guttural sounds and a harsh, nasal sounding growl. Sometimes they mimics birds, mammals, and other sounds... imitating squirrels, Northern Flickers, Northern Goshawks, White-breasted Nuthatches, and mechanical sounds such as water sprinklers."
