This common, large songbird is familiar to many people, with beautiful variants of blue on its upperparts and white to whitish grey underparts, and a blue crest on the head that can be raised or lowered depending on the bird’s mood. Although blue jays can sometimes be aggressive toward other birds at feeding stations, bird watchers still enjoy their bright colors, clever feeding strategies and sassy attitude.
