Jay - Garrulus Glandarius
Although they are the most colourful members of the crow family, jays are actually quite difficult to see. They are shy woodland birds, rarely moving far from cover. The screaming call usually lets you know a jay is nearby and it is usually given when a bird is on the move, so watch for a bird flying between the trees with its distinctive flash of white on the rump. Jays are famous for their acorn feeding habits and in the autumn you may see them burying acorns for retrieving later in the winter.
The word jay has an archaic meaning in American slang meaning a person who chatters impertinently.
The term jaywalking was coined in 1915 to label persons crossing a busy street carelessly and becoming a traffic hazard. The term began to imply recklessness or impertinent behavior as the convention became established.
In January 2014, Canadian author Robert Joseph Greene embarked on a lobbying campaign among ornithologists in Europe and North America to get Merriam-Websters Dictionary to have a "Jabber of Jays" as an official term under bird groups.

Cyanocorax yncas galeatus (Inca Jay / Carriquí)
The juvenile is to the right of the photo. These birds quickly reach almost the same size as their parents. At this stage, they still do not feed themselves but timidly wait, hidden among the branches, for their parents to feed them.
The Inca jay (Cyanocorax yncas) is a bird species of the New World jays, which is endemic to the Andes of South America.
Their basic diet consists of arthropods, vertebrates, seeds, and fruit.
The range extends southwards in the Andes from Colombia and Venezuela through Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia.

Blue jay - Mooresville, North Carolina
This is a better photograph of this species than the one I had previously posted. The previous post was Bird Species (# 101) that I photographed and placed on my Flickr Photostream. Overall goal is 1000.

Eurasian Jay [Garrulus glandarius]
Very pleased to see four young jays which have been hanging around The Pixies, helping themselves to various seeds and peanuts. The noise they make is amazing - a screeching raspy racket! Maybe the Latin nomenclature refers to this.
Here, one of the jays landed on the grass next to the track. They had been swooping between branches, a little shy, it seemed, of the humans or the car. He/she proceeded to eat a tremendous number of peanuts then flew back up into the trees.
I love the blue flashes on the flanks. We’ve only seen jays here, once or twice before. Thrilled that these guys decided to visit. Such a beautiful bird.

A Blue Jay waits patiently for some seed to appear. These guys dominate the food chain on our lakefront, except for the squirrels of course!
