Jays are members of the Corvid family known for their vibrant colors. They have a pinkish tinge to their plumage with blue and black barring on their wings. They are particularly noticeable when flying as their barring stands out; together with the flash of white feathers on their rump. Once they are settled in a tree, it can be quite tough to make them out, despite their bright colors, they are quite good at blending in.
