Its wings cupped, as if it were a parachute
This is a photo of a Gray Jay taking flight. I took this photo in January up the in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, at the summit of Mt. Willey. The background of this photo is snowcapped Mount Washington.
I like this photo because it captures the moment of takeoff. The gray jay has its wings cupped, as if it were a parachute.
Fun fact: Gray Jays nests during late winter, incubating its eggs in temperatures that may drop below minus 20°F.
