The Gray Jay, also known as the Canada Jay or Perisoreus canadensis, is a medium-sized bird found in North America, particularly in boreal forests. It has a soft gray plumage, a white face, and a black crown. These birds are known for their intelligence and adaptability, often seen foraging for food in groups. Gray Jays are famous for their habit of caching food, storing it in tree crevices or under bark to eat later. They primarily feed on insects, berries, and scraps from human activities. Their friendly nature often leads them to approach hikers, making them a popular sight in national parks like Banff and Yosemite.
