It would
be hard to overlook the Blue Jay in Quebec. Its broad, yet distinctive
repertoire of songs, its bold coloration, and it's distribution in nearly
all forested habitats of Southern Quebec make this species known to wilderness
campers and suburban dwellers alike. Although originally an inhabitant
of wilderness areas, the Blue Jay has adapted well to human-dominated
landscapes, and commonly dominates bird feeding stations. Although its
diet is mostly plant materials such as seeds, nuts, and berries, the Blue
Jay is actually an omnivore; insects, small mammals, amphibians, fish,
and even the eggs and young of other birds round out the Blue Jay's diet.
