With their iridescent blues and stylish crests, the Blue Jay and the Steller's Jay are two of the most stunning birds of North America. Together, they form the genus Cyanocitta, and because they sometimes interbreed, their status as distinct species has been contested. While the Steller's jay inhabits the mountain chain system along the Pacific coast, the blue jay is spread through southern Canada and most of the eastern and central United States. They feed on a variety of seeds, nuts, berries, fruits, and occasionally prey on small animals. When the time comes for a female to find a mate, she will gather a dozen males and have them compete to keep up with her flying around all day, until only one remains. The two then bond for life.
