Winter’s nearly over and that means lots of birds migrating back to Canada! It’s always sad when winter comes, because you don’t hear the beautiful sounds of the songbirds filling the sky in the morning. One of these beautiful songbirds happens to be the Blue Jay; a majestic blue bird with really striking markings that make him instantly recognizable by anyone that sees him. To read more about blue jays, check out the link below to the excellent All About Birds, a site created by Cornell University and packed full of excellent information and pictures of any kind of bird you can think of!
