Artist's Description
This painting of a pair of Canada Jays (Perisoreus canadensis) at the nest was done to help promote this species as the national bird of Canada. It appears in the back of a book by David Bird and other experts, entitled The Canada Jay as Canada’s National Bird?, published June 9, 2022. They are a hardy species, starting to nest when temperatures not uncommonly can reach minus 30 Celsius (-22 F) or colder. They are noted for their boldness, often landing on an open hand to snatch a treat, or take it unoffered from a camper’s lunch. While they are modest of hue, that gentle blend of various shades of grey, white and black and the softness of their plumage imparts an overall charming elegance to their appearance that, I, as an artist, never tire of seeing and portraying. I have shown the birds in April, when it might still snow in their forest homes, and the young are soon to leave the nest. It is in oils on birch panel and is 20 by 15 inches.
