EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the stunning beauty and intriguing behavior of the North American Steller's Jay. Illustrated with meticulous detail, this artwork captures a moment of animal intelligence and curiosity. In this illustration, we see the Steller's Jay perched on a white background, its vibrant blue feathers contrasting against the black color of its body. The bird is captured in profile view, standing tall and proud as it engages in an interesting behavior known as anting. Using its beak, the jay pecks at ants crawling nearby. This peculiar practice called anting is believed to help birds maintain their plumage by spreading formic acid from crushed ants onto their feathers. It not only acts as a natural insecticide but also helps to keep their feathers clean and healthy. The watercolor painting technique used in this artwork adds depth and texture to each stroke, bringing life to every feather on the jay's wings. The horizontal composition allows us to appreciate every intricate detail while emphasizing the open space around the bird. Dorling Kindersley has masterfully captured both the physical attributes and behavioral characteristics of this remarkable creature through his skillful brushwork. This print serves as a reminder of nature's wonders and invites us into a world where animals exhibit fascinating behaviors that continue to captivate our imagination.
