Any one of the numerous species of birds belonging to

handsomely colored species, having the body pale
reddish brown, lighter beneath; tail and wing quills
blackish; the primary coverts barred with bright blue
and black; throat, tail coverts, and a large spot on
the wings, white. Called also jay pie, Jenny jay,

colored, and have a large erectile crest. The
California jay (Aphelocoma Californica), the Florida

(Xanthoura luxuosa), of Texas and Mexico, are large,
handsome, crested species. The Canada jay ({Perisoreus
