They’re gorgeous

And make the most obnoxious sounds. I’ve got them all over in my area and they flock up on the trees in my yard every spring.

I need a new lens because I badly want to get some photos of them but my 200mm just isn’t enough and it kills me. They’re so gorgeous.

I know yours was a joke, but I’m kinda curious what names they might consider. Western Jay? Mountain Jay? Screamo Jay? Western Mountain Screamo Jay?

Beautiful birds, intelligent too as I believe they’re related to corvids. Just watch your lunch around them

Fairly clever, more bold than the average crow. Not as aggressive as gulls but yes they’ll try to steal from people.
