Bluebird..They are not jays and are smaller. They are beautiful!
pretty pix.. is that a blue jay or blue bird? are jays look different. our jays are the ones that are continually after the egg shells
It's a scrub jay. They are all over the place here in the central valley. I believe they are part of the "jay" species and they have the same temperament as other jays. Raucous and loud and bullies when it comes to other birds, like our finches and sparrows. But, I try to remember that they are just being as God created them. Their behavior is how they survive, and I love my jays. I feel like I am their mother. I've named this one "Precocious", because when he is a baby he wouldn't take "no" for an answer when it came to begging for peanuts. He was such a little pest. LOL
