Just chiming in as a European: These birds totally amazed me when I was in the US for the first time. We have some blue colored birds in Germany but they’re pretty rare, the most common, I think, being the European blue tit. I stayed in the suburbs of the Bay Area in 2014 and I loved all those foreign (to me) looking birds sitting in the trees next to my Airbnb.
They’re pretty common here, but they’re still kind of hard to shoot for me because they cover a lot of ground, rarely settle, and react to motion further out.
I get the occasional shot I really like, but a lot don’t work out.
Mordecai!
I see these a bunch during migration. Nice blue jay.
