I wasn’t able to get a picture but a Blue Jay popped into my tree in my yard! I am so excited because I have really ever seen one. I read that they mostly live in the middle states and out east. So here in New Mexico I think it might be rare! I live in southern New Mexico.
“Blue Jays are common, but their populations have declined by an estimated 0.6% per year for a cumulative decline of about 27% between 1966 and 2019 according to the North American Breeding Bird Survey.”this excerpt is from allaboutbirds.org
“Blue jays are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and have been likely since its inception in 1918. It has been amended numerous times and could have been added. Because there is no open season (like for ducks, doves, etc.) they are closed and protected.” This excerpt is from nchuntandfish.com
