Being patient (Cyanocitta cristata)

Juvie Blue Jay. This juvie is waiting patiently to be fed. Not like its squawking siblings.

The blue jay is between 9 and 12 inches in length. It is bright blue on top and white to gray on its throat, chest and belly. It has a gray-blue crest on its head and black and white bars on its wings and tail. Its bill, legs and feet are black.
