Blue Jay Art Print — Field Notes Bird Identification Poster

The smartest bird at your feeder, and it knows it.

Blue Jays are corvids — the crow family — and it shows. They cache acorns by the thousand and remember where. They imitate hawk calls, which clears a feeder in about a second. They recognise faces.

What the drawing gets right. Blue above with the black necklace across the throat, the crest raised the way a jay raises it when something has annoyed it, and the white wing patches that only show when it flies.

If you want them close: peanuts in the shell. A jay will take one, fly off to hide it, and be back inside a minute.

The print. Matte art paper, vertical format, printed to order in the USA. Standard sizes, so an off-the-shelf frame fits. Frame not included.
