Play of the Bluejay Hawks and Owls by Imitation
A vivid note from Bird Studies by Herman Co. de Groat describes the bluejay’s plumage a purplish blue upper body and purplish gray under parts the bright blue wings and tail with black bars the white-tipped tail feathers and crested head. It nests about twenty feet high using twigs and fine roots and lays four to six greenish drab eggs flecked with brown. The bird imitates other birds to lure hawks and teases owls and sparrow hawks, sometimes provoking a tragedy when a hawk attacks a jay chorus. Jays can be caged and taught to utter words according to some writers.
