Blue Jay (Cyanocitta cristata) Gallery
photos by D.W. Maiden Warrenton, Virginia
Although Blue Jays are often disliked because they chase away smaller birds from their feeders, they are amoung the handsomest of backyard birds. The color of the Blue Jay is not derived by pigments but is the result of light refraction because of the internal structure of the feather.
