    Wow, this is a beautiful bird, and I have had a few at my bird feeder this week as well. i was looking in my bird book and believe it is a type of a Jay. But not the typical blue jay we think of. You got a great picture! maybe you could submit it to Birds and Blooms?
    Blessings,

    I'm thinking it looks more like some sort of hawk/falcon. Did you ever find out?

Ten Things of Thankful: Post-Thanksgiving Edition

Hope you had a nice Thanksgiving. I'll jump right in:
