What a pretty bird. What is it?

It does look like a bluejay!I think it is a bluejay on steroids!~
One year I watched a nest of Eagles, waiting patiently for them to hatch. I think the first bunch didn't. So, started watching another Eagle Cam. The babies were older when I started watching, was very excited. And then slowly, slowly, slowly, it dawned on me that these birds would be eating other animals. Large animals sometimes. Not dead yet animals. I just couldn't watch anymore after that realization. I don't know why it took me so long to have that a-ha moment.I will never ever forget my guys here. Watched them hatch. Terrified each step they took. Don't fall!
ack! watched them on ustream eating what was brought into the nest. You got used to it after a while.. it took a good while for me to watch them eat. Some things were still alive.. errrrr
They did not all survive, But mom and dad go on. They are the Decorah Eagles. And they don't allow you to give them names. They were by tag numbers. Its only mom and dad and they are so great.
Mom took a beating to protect her babies.
