Bird bath swallow for the fledgling California Scrub-Jay.

California Scrub-Jays are recognized by their striking blue head, wings and tail, contrasting with a grayish-white belly and a patch of white or pale blue just above the eye. Unlike Steller's Jays, they don't have a crest. Beyond wild scrublands, California Scrub-Jays are highly adaptable and thrive in suburban and urban environments, often becoming quite accustomed to human presence. You might occasionally spot a Scrub-Jay perched with wings and tail spread out, enjoying a "sunbath" – possibly to warm up, dislodge parasites or dry their feathers. During breeding season, you'll often see them in pairs. They are monogamous and fiercely territorial, especially around their nest, which is typically a messy cup of twigs and roots in a dense shrub.
