St. Joseph Museums

The image is of an elegantly framed print depicting a dynamic scene featuring a blue jay in mid-flight, its wings and tail outstretched, appearing to swoop down toward a chipmunk that stands upright on its hind legs below, set against a simple white background; the detailed rendering of the bird’s plumage and the chipmunk’s fur, along with the scattered acorns and autumn leaves on the ground beneath them, add a sense of realism and liveliness to the artwork, which is attributed to "Ray Harm" and titled "Blue Jay" with the scientific name "Cyanocitta cristata bromia" noted below, suggesting it could be a nature illustration focused on capturing the interaction between these two species.
