Observation details
Nutcracker-sized and shaped bird with a light blue body/head and darker remiges. Head and face relatively uniform light blue, belly also clean blue; tail short. Relatively long, straight bill similar to CLNU. Strong direct flight, moving south with the wind. Seen well by both observers and I am familiar with the species. Managed photos but unfortunately out of focus; they still show light blue color and overall shape. Only other blue medium-large birds are steller's jay, blue jay, and scrub-jays. Each species has longer tail and does not have an overall blue color - Steller's has a dark head, blue/scrub jays have light bellies and different facial markings.
