Participant Photo: A Very Rare Sight in Santa Fe, New Mexico
This gorgeous Steller’s Jay found my nut cylinder. I’ve learned it is an extremely rare event for Steller’s Jays to come into the city of Santa Fe as they prefer the high mountain forests. This is the only one I have seen in the 25 years I’ve lived here. I’m thrilled!

A couple built their nest & hatched one baby in a small oak bush in my back yard in Cedar Crest, NM. I fed them peanuts & continue to feed them. All 3 visit me daily. Recently a beautiful Steller Jay has joined them. They are very social & seem to know my voice. They are ready for their daily peanuts & corn.
We live up in the south East Mountains Of santa Fe. We usually would see two or three of these stellars every fall. They’ve taken up residence in our tall Pines and we can see them all day long there’s at least 6 to 8 flying around at any given time. A beautiful treat
Steller Jays are a common sight in Cedar Crest, New Mexico (referred to as The East Mountains). Our home is at 7200 feet.
We live in town of Bernalillo NM
And have a Steller Jay in our back yard for the first time at the bird feeder.
Hope he sticks around for the winter months. 😁
