It’s not often you see an owl hanging out with a songbird. This Blue Jay and Pygmy Owl seem to be unbothered by each other’s presence for the moment.

Blue Jays, surprisingly big!
Being as big as a Pygmy Owl isn’t the highest achievement… 😁
The jays are big enough to be the boys in my yard though. I love those guys.
That person might just be really close and the owl really far away!
Northern Pygmy Owl
Blue Jay
If you’re used to common Blue Jays, the Mountain/Steller’s Jay will appear surprisingly large. Especially since the ones in the Rockies, at least, have no qualms about getting right up in your face.
(That’s not the bird in OP’s photo, though.)
Ooo he’s got an executioner’s hood!
