Habitat:

Prefers mixed woodlands with oaks and beeches. Has adapted to human activities, occurring in parks and residential areas.

Notes:

This Blue Jay seems to enjoy bumping up against our bedroom window. The window is tinted on the inside so perhaps it's seeing his own reflection and is trying to "chase it away".
