blue jay at Lake Meyer Park IA 653A4019

Blue jays are famous for finding and caching fallen acorns in the fall, burying the nutritious nuts underground for a future food source. They are credited with spreading the oak savanna onto the expansive prairie in prehistoric times, since they'd forget where they planted a few of those stored acorns every autumn.
