The Blue Jay is a large songbird (9-12 inches long) found from Texas to Florida and up through Southern Canada. It is easily identified by its distinctive coloring-various shades of bright blue on its upperparts, grayish white on its underparts, and a crown of feathers on its head. Blue Jays are monogamous, forming pairs that often last until the death of one mate. This aggressive and noisy bird actively chases away other birds from food sources, even attempting to scare other birds into abandoning the food that they are carrying. It is also known to raid the nests of other birds, eating nestlings and eggs. Blue Jays hide away food to be eaten later.
