About These Birds
Blue Jay
The blue jay is a bold, intelligent member of the corvid family known for its striking plumage and loud calls. Blue jays are important dispersers of oak trees, as they cache thousands of acorns each autumn. Their complex social behavior includes mimicking the calls of hawks to scare other birds from feeders.
Black-chested Jay
The Black-chested Jay is a medium-sized, boldly patterned jay of humid lowland forests in Central America and northwestern South America, with a blue body, black head and breast patch, and a white forehead patch. It ranges from Honduras south to Ecuador and Venezuela, inhabiting forest edges, secondary growth, and sometimes gardens. It feeds on fruits, large insects, and occasionally small vertebrates.
