It's not often you see an owl hanging out with a songbird. This Blue Jay and Pygmy Owl seem to be unbothered by each other's presence for the moment.

If you're used to common Blue Jays, the Mountain/Steller's Jay will appear surprisingly large. Especially since the ones in the Rockies, at least, have no qualms about getting right up in your face.

(That's not the bird in OP's photo, though.)
