I shared this one earlier in the week on a Montana birding page and wanted to add it to my website as well so here it is.  This bird, along with the Canada goose, has probably one of the most misspelled names.  While the Canada goose is often called the Canadian goose, the Steller’s jay is often spelled as the Stellar or Stellar’s jay.  While this large, very beautiful jay is certainly stellar, it is named after Georg Steller who is credited for first discovering the species.  This one has been frequenting our backyard recently along with two blue jays and quite a few Canada jays.
