Pinyon Jay


Jays • NW, SW

The Pinyon Jay is another omnivorous bird who eats lizards and small mammals but prefers nuts and seeds. The Pinyon Jay will arrive at your feeder and hoard more seeds than Liz Taylor does diamonds. Each bird can store thousands of seeds each year. They have an amazing memory, and can find these cached seeds during lean times even in the snow! They feed in large groups and announce their arrival with raucous screeches at an amazingly loud volume.

Pinyon Jays are a dull blue with a little white under their chin, but you won’t have any trouble identifying this rowdy group. They are found in pinion/juniper woods, sagebrush and chaparral. When they congregate, you know it.
