Blue Jay

Blue Jays are among the handsomest of birds with their backs and prominent crest in blue; belly and face white; a black necklace; wings and a long rounded tail a bright blue with bands of black and edged in white. They often bury seeds and acorns, and since many are never retrieved they are, in effect, tree planters. These noisy and bold birds are seen all year throughout Canada, although they are migratory and travel in large loose flocks in spring and fall. Each blue jay is individually hand-crafted and may differ slightly from the photograph shown.
