(Cyanotta cristata)
a.k.a. 'blue chatterer'
The Blue Jay is native to eastern deciduous, coniferous and mixed woodlands, but is also at home in suburban vegetation, found extensively in backyards such as mine, year around. It eats seeds, and acorns, particularly in winter, but also insects, small vertebrates such as lizards, rodents, bird eggs, tree frogs and fruits. The Blue Jay is one half of that special bird duet that makes Canadian winters a little more bearable...the other half being the red Northern Cardinal.
