Description
A large, Steller's Jay in the evergreen forests of the mountainous West. Steller's Jays are common in forest wildernesses but are also fixtures of campgrounds, park lands, and backyards, where they are quick to spy bird feeders as well as unattended picnic items. When patrolling the woods, Steller's Jays stick to the high canopy, but you'll hear their harsh, scolding calls if they are nearby. Graceful and almost lazy in flight, they fly with long swoops on their broad, rounded wings.
Like other jays, Steller's Jays are bold, inquisitive, intelligent, and noisy. Steller's Jays spend much of their time exploring the forest canopy, flying with patient wingbeats. They come to the forest floor to investigate visitors and look for food, moving with decisive hops of their long legs.
