Pig. 245. ROCKY MOUNTAIN .JAY. 



The habits of these birds are very similar to those of our 

 Blue Jay but they are ever so much bolder, in fact they 

 seem to be devoid of fear for man. During the summer 

 months they are very, very destructive to small bird life; a 

 single pair has been known to devour the young from four 

 Junco nests in a single day.
