Stellars Jay Waterton Lake (day 1 afternoon) Part 1 120921

After lunch and a bite to eat, we headed out for a little more exploration, and high expectaions. we headed up to Cameron Lake. It was HOT 30C in the mountains in September is unexpected.  I have been after a Stellar's Jay all year, and was rewarded as soon as we arrived at the lake.

I love the white over the eye and the vertical Blue streak on the forehead.
Lots of life around the lake. A mixture of butterflies, ants, and bugs, like this Butterfly.

I can't resist another Stellar's Jay shots.

 There were also terrific colours all around.

Even the Chipmunks were out and about.

With that side trip completed, we headed out for the even, looking for Bears.  Stay tuned, you won't be disappointed.
