📍 Location: Yosemite Valley, California 🗓 Date: June 5, 2026 🐾 Media: Image 🌿 Species: Steller's Jay (Cyanocitta stelleri) 📝 Notes: Large, striking songbird found in coniferous forests, woodlands, and mountain habitats across western North America. Recognized by its dark crested head and upper body, contrasting with bright blue wings, tail, and underparts.

An intelligent and adaptable omnivore, it feeds on insects, seeds, nuts, berries, eggs, and small animals. Steller’s Jays are known for their loud, harsh calls, curiosity, and bold behavior around campsites and human settlements. They often cache food for later use and play an important role in seed dispersal.

I'm on the bus back from my state marching band competition, and I hate to report that we got 4th (⁠｡⁠•́⁠︿⁠•̀⁠｡⁠)

But it was still a ton of fun and our director was super proud of us and he also wants to fistfight the judges /j

Anyways, I felt like doodling some skellies I like and also experimenting with an outfit on Killer that I found on X. It's pretty cool looking imo

I love Cyan so much, she's so pretty and cool looking. I've been wanting to draw them for a little while now and I hope I drew them okay. :>

Killer belongs to rahafwabas

Cyanocitta belongs to @bluepr1ntyy
