Cyanocitta stelleri -- This fellow is here daily. Steller's Jay is kind of a bully with the other birds. Most get out of his way. He likes the feeding tray, the birdbath and the suet tray. The other birds come back after he leaves. Calls are low pitched, raucous, and varied, often in a series of 3. Steller's imitates hawks expertly.
