This photo of a Stellar's jay was taken at a ghost town near Mt. Princeton, a couple hours west of Colorado Springs.
Closely related to the blue jay, Steller's jays live at higher elevations here in Colorado. I see them sometimes while hiking the foothills on the western edge of Colorado Springs.
I took this photo with a Canon 70D DSLR and Sigma AF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 APO DG telephoto lens.
