A cerulean Steller’s jay poses in a Douglas fir. The Jay's Black crest is fully erect and there's a neon blue racing stripe just above its beak. The bird's crest, head, neck and shoulders are ebony. The bird's deep blue feathers are lined with black bars on its wings. Its chest is a light blue shading into the black.
Peanut diplomacy.
The ambassador has arrived.
