RE: The Wrong Jays and No Owl
Almost all of our common jays, all 3 species of scrub jays, blue jay, Steller's Jay, are blue colored, but only the eastern species has the common English name "Blue Jay." You're right though it is a "blue" jay.
This is very interesting as I have only ever seen the eastern variety. A group of them at a feeder in winter is beautiful.
