Western Scrub Jay

Everyone has heard of the American Blue Jay. Well, this is the Californian equivalent.
Like all corvids, it is a rogue and a thief, and like the European Jay, has an unpleasing raucous voice.
But, my, what a handsome bugger he is with his blue head, wings and tail and that light mahogany back.
Scrub Jays spend a lot of time in and on the local shrubberies trying to find eggs and chicks for breakfast, but I am prepared to forgive our local Scrub Jays their trespasses because they are the only birds so far to drink from and bathe in the bird bath that I erected in the backyard.
It cost me eighty bucks and a ricked back, so I feel I am entitled to some return on my investment.
