25 Cents 2010 - CANADA - Blye Jay
Noisy blue glider
Flight seems almost effortless for the Blue Jay (Cyanocitta cristata) as it glides through the air with surprising speed while barely flapping its wings. However, the jay's quiet arrival is often announced by its harsh calls, which sometimes mimic other birds such as the Red-shouldered Hawk. The jay's calls often alert other brids to the presence of humans, cats or other possible predatores.
