Beautiful Steller’s Jay spotted Burleigh Murray Ranch in Half Moon Bay, leaning over a picnic bench to look over.

The bird is named after the German naturalist Georg Wilhelm Steller, the first European to record them, in 1741. source

minus-square@Durandal@lemmy.todaylinkfedilinkEnglish2•14 days agoYeah. 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.
