Great Northern Blue Buzzard

Okay...it is a young blue jay...but his hairdo is quite leaves him looking buzzard like.






Upon reflection, think I should have cropped more.

Thanks for looking.

That's the funniest looking Bluy Jay I've ever seen. Great shots. Is that normal for a juvie?

Great job. We have a few juve's around the feeder these days and I must say the lack of head feathers brings a smile to my face every time I see them. I've been trying to capture them in good light - you managed! Good job.

Unique images. Is the bird molting or does it have some sort of disease, mites?

Awesome capture !!!
Now , how did that little guy get that peanut up there ???

spechtal

Thanks everyone. I think this guy is a young one, as I saw the parents feeding him and some of the other kids over the last few weeks. What's amusing is that they all have various different hair styles. Some of them have more feathers on their heads than others.

The peanut might be a bribe into better light.

Scrounging around at one of the numerous peanut farms in Canada!!!

Very nice images.
