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

I don’t want to be pedantic but it’s “Steller’s Jay”. The bird is named after the German naturalist Georg Wilhelm Steller, the first European to record them, in 1741. source

minus-squarevortic@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·6 months agoThank you for pointing this out. I wasn’t aware of this movement. It seems like a great idea!
minus-squareDurandal@lemmy.todaylinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·6 months 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.
minus-squareSmitty@mastodon.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up1·6 months ago@Durandal @Vorticity not a rumor.
