Just discovered while researching Blue Jays for a commission that due to climate change, the Blue Jays’ range has been expanding… which has led to instances of hybridization with Steller’s Jays as their ranges overlap??

Look at you!! You are so goddamn pretty and cute!?

Thank all of you fellow bird nerds for validating my secret suspicions about this very dignified gem of a bird, who I am 100% sure is also an absolute agent of high-volume chaos.

[Image description: Screenshot of tweet by @aevris_ that reads:

very funny to me that there is an entire play behaviour in birds that this paper calls co-lying. they just lie on the ground together. (i can only find pics of australian magpies doing it but it’s noted in ravens)

Attached is a photo of two magpies lying flat on their backs on a lawn and clasping claws. /end ID]
