Oregon’s most clever and colorful jays

Oregon’s forests and backyards are alive with some of the smartest, most eye-catching birds around—jays! From the bold Steller’s Jay with its electric blue crest to the resourceful California Scrub-Jay that plans for the future, each species brings its own personality and flair. Even the elusive Gray Jay, known for its winter survival tricks, and the rare Blue Jay sightings spark excitement among birders. These birds aren’t just pretty faces—they play a big role in spreading seeds and keeping our ecosystems healthy.
