VERY USUSUAL LOOKING BLUE JAY EATING PEANUTS, SERENA GUNDY PARK, TORONTO, ONTARIO, 9/13/2025

   I have never seen or photographed a Blue Jay which looks this unusual, i.e., the large black circle in the center of its breast connected by two vertical black lines that connect to a black line that goes around the front of is neck.  Also, there is a black line at the bottom of its nape and white feathers hanging down from its chin which look like a feather beard.

   Any comments?
