Great photo! I always love these guys. The goth versions of Blue Jays!
I don't want to be pedantic but it's "Steller's Jay".

For now.
Thank you for pointing this out. I wasn't aware of this movement. It seems like a great idea!
Yeah. I found it interesting. I have heard rumors that “ Audubon” might rename as well due to controversy around its namesake having been a slave trader.
@Durandal @Vorticity not a rumor.
