Blue jays building a nest
Since spring has arrived, I thought I'd post one of my favorite photos from spring of 2021. This pair of blue jays built a nest in a tree behind our house. I kept an eye on them and their nestlings for several weeks.- MlynchKy

Blue jay
One of the more common visitors to my yard, a blue jay. This one's name is Otto, but when he's knocking over the basket of peanuts, his name can't be repeated in mixed company. And, here's a bit of trivia I never knew till today - blue jays from my home state, Connecticut, averaged a full ounce...- Barbie Heid

Just out of the bath after 15 minutes
American Blue Jay Blue jays are noisy, bold, and aggressive birds. They are very territorial and will chase others from a feeder for an easier meal. Additionally, Blue jays may raid other birds' nests, stealing eggs and chicks.- KC Foggin

Sat Fun: Diving for a morsal!
I accidentally left my camera on the "pre-shoot" option (saving so many shots before and after pressing the shutter) and caught this pair of Blue Jays, one snacking on a suet cake, the other desperately diving to snap up a suet crumb that had fallen before the other jays had a chance at it. On...- wonderview

Blue Jay in a Blizzard.
Had a hum dinger of a snow storm a few days ago. Blizzard conditions for much of it. That didn't slow down the Jays from hitting the feeders though!- wonderview

Yet another Blue Jay shot. They are dominating the yard so lots of chances at getting photos of them. It was nice to get one in the sunlight for a change, haven't had very much of that lately.- wonderview

Blue jay in my yard
I finally admitted defeat trying to stalk this guy and went to plan B: left the video running. He is so neurotic he even takes off when he hears traffic blocks away. He would only pass by occasionally, but I just started offering peanuts and now I'm refilling feeders three times faster than I...- Barbie Heid

Have about a dozen of these birds that come into the yard almost daily. KC, if you see this and to answer your question, I usually hit a slump this time of year. The light gets short lived and terrible. There's a large hill just behind our house on the West side, so this time of year it starts...- wonderview

This common species of Eastern North America was attracted to a water feature where it took a late afternoon bath. This is presumably the nominate race "C. c. cristata" characterized by smaller, reduced white markings on its wings and tail.- jmorlan

This young inexperienced Blue Jay was poised to leap to a nearby feeder to scare off a big Hairy Woodpecker that was already eating there. Only problem was, like a kid trying to jump into deep water for the first time, he just couldn't work up the courage to do it. Maybe the steely stare of the...- wonderview
