Jay |
|
|
The Jay is a member of the crow family. It is a distinctive
brownish-pink colour with a black and white streaked head,
black moustache, white rump and black tail. However, the
easiest way to identify a Jay is by the flashes of blue on
it's wings.
They are quite shy birds and don't venture far from the woods,
so they are easier to spot when the leaves are not on the
trees. In the autumn, they collect acorns and bury them for
the winter. |
