lue Jay

The brash and beautiful Blue Jay is seldom regarded with indifference. Some think it's an aggressive bully, while others love its boisterous, sociable nature. A member of the Corvid family, related to the Common Raven and Green Jay, the Blue Jay is intelligent and adaptable — qualities that have helped it learn to successfully co-exist with humans.

Most people know the Blue Jay by its namesake “Jay! Jay!” call, but that's only one of a wide variety of sounds it can produce. In fact, the Blue Jay is an excellent mimic.

Can it fool you with its hawk and eagle imitations?
