000 / 6 • Live • The Blue Jays have been nesting in an area where an outside window was broken on the side of my garage This year I decided to watch more closely the progression of the babies after they hatched and I decided to take some pictures It took about 2 3 weeks for the babies to become full grownThe Steller's jay is unmistakable with its charcoal and blue plumage, distinctive crest, and raucous call announcing its presence Steller's jays forage on the ground and in trees and bushes Omnivorous, they eat a variety of animal and plant food This jay nests in trees or shrubs and often places the nest near the trunk and within 1016 feetOne of the loudest and most colorful birds of eastern back yards and woodlots, the Blue Jay is unmistakable Intelligent and adaptable, it may feed on almost anything, and it is quick to take advantage of bird feeders Besides their raucous jay!
