The poor dear! The small detail of the photo just serves to emphasize the bedraggledness -- and the beautiful colours.
And that giant limpid black eye just asking for sympathy…
(The red spot on the beak, blood? mite? random bit of something?)
I love the diagonal line patterns the disarranged feathers are creating, geometric and I can’t stop staring.
Commuting in all weathers is just a bugger, ain’t it?
It’s a tough galaxy. If you want to survive, you’ve gotta know where your towel is.
No other bird looks as pathetic as a Blue Jay when wet. They look the same as wet kittens, and they have that pathetic “woe is me” look even after they’ve taken a highly enthusiastic bath.
The (relatively dry?)wing is there to remind of the past (and future) glory.
