Field Date June 26th, 2025

Animal spotlight: Blue Jays (Cyanocitta cristata) Did you know they're in the same family as crows?! They're in the family Corvidae, which is shared with crows, magpies and steller jays to name a few. Blue Jays can mimics the calls of hawks! This is something we've heard a few times in the yard! Blue jays have brown melanin pigment in their feathers, but the blue appearance is due to light scattering. When light interacts with the modified, spongy structure of the feather barbs, it scatters and reflects mostly blue wavelengths, making the feathers appear blue to our eyes. So cool!
