BS-0003
Blue Jay
Cyanocitta cristata
The Blue Jay has predominantly blue upperparts, whitish to pale gray underparts, and a black collar; adult males and females are alike in plumage. Black barring crosses the blue wings and tail, while white wing patches and white tips on the outer tail feathers contrast with the largely unmarked back and breast. A prominent blue crest can be raised or flattened, changing the outline of the crown.
