Sunday Stamps - J

2000, Canada

designed by Raymond Bellemare
based on a painting by Pierre Leduc

This blue jay was one of a set of four birds in the fifth series of birds of Canada. They are known for their loud and raucous call, though during the breeding season they are almost silent until the young are fledged.

We have just seen our first jay in our garden earlier in the week - not a blue jay though.

Very pretty, I like its lookout tree. This week for me it is J for Jester

My first thought, like many others, was 'that is a really pretty stamp'. I like how the border is done.
