Blue Jay - Cyanocitta cristata:
The Blue Jay is a noisy, aggressive, and intelligent bird. Common and wide-ranging, the Blue Jay is admired for its beautiful plumage, but its reputation is clouded by its harsh treatment of other songbirds, chasing them from feeders and sometimes stealing their eggs and young.

Length:
The blue jay measures 11-12 1/2".
Habitat:
Woods, suburbs, city parks.
Range:
Eastern Canada and U.S.
