BLuEJAY LIVES IN WOODS
Hawks, Owls and Other Birds Are
leased and Tormented by These
Noisy Birds.

The bluejay likes best to live in
thick woods, but 1t often comes into
open fields, orchards and near dwell
fngs In search of food. When 1t dis
covers you 1t assumes a proud and
angry air Of conceit and defiance.
The bluejay's upper parts are pur-
plish-blue. The lower parts are pur-
piish-gray. The wings and tail are
bright blue with black bars. The tail
feathers are tipped with white. 1t has
q crested head.
The bluejay builds it's nest about
twenty feet above ground. 1t is made
of twigs and fine roots. From four to
,six eggs are laid. They are of a green
ish drab color lecked with brown.
Doubtless the bluejay helped to
name itself, as it's common %utterance
Is a long drawn, Jay, jay. jay" This
cry, with the bright blue color, has
given 1t its name.
While the Jay sings no song 1t is
able to initiate the calls of other
birds, by which means 1t often at
tracts them. It likes to tease and
torment the owl and especially the lit
tie sparrow hawk. This is done by
Initiating the cry of a wounded bird.
which draws the hawk near. Then
several Jays will dart at the hawk
%squealing and %frolicking about in
great glee. Sometimes the play ends
in a tragedy, for the hawk pounces
upon one of them to the dismay Of
the others. Jays may be Gagged and
tanned like crows and some writer's
say they car be taught to utter words.
