When you open your camera in selfie mode…⁣ ⁣ Felt cute, might delete later. Steller's jays (Cyanocitta stelleri) are beautiful birds that are found throughout the forests and mountains of North America, Central America, and the Pacific coast. Like other jays, Steller’s Jays are known to be bold, inquisitive, intelligent, and noisy.⁣ ⁣ What are some other fun facts? ⁣ ⁣ 🐦 The Steller's Jay and the Blue Jay are the only New World jays that use mud in the construction of their nests.⁣ ⁣ 🐦 They form flocks outside of the nesting season and often fly across clearings in single file.⁣ ⁣ 🐦 A group of jays has many collective nouns, including a "band", "cast", "party", and "scold" of jays.⁣ ⁣ Image: Closeup view (did we say closeup?) of a Steller’s Jay at @brycecanyonnps NPS / Keith Moore⁣ ⁣ #birding #stellersjay #birdsofinstagram #upcloseandpersonal #selfies #selfiemood
