Blue Jay or Steller’s Jay: That is the question

“These jays have similar personalities. Both are raucous and have a bit of a reputation for being ‘bad boys.’ They are as watchful as dogs, and that they neglect all other employment… to come round, follow, peep at and scold you.” ……………….Thomas Nuttall, Nineteenth-century bird observer.
