Blue Jays are known for their bright blue, white, and black feathers, their pointed crest, and their loud calls. They are intelligent and very social birds.
Jays eat acorns, nuts, seeds, and insects. By burying acorns to eat later, they help oak forests spread across the landscape.
Where to See It
Oak woods, parks, and neighborhoods with large trees and peanut or sunflower feeders.
Fun Fact
Blue Jays can imitate the calls of hawks, possibly to warn other birds or scare them away from food.
Help Birds Thrive
Native plants, clean water, and a few safe places to shelter make any yard more welcoming to birds. Keep feeders clean, place them away from windows, and keep cats indoors to protect local wildlife.
