Some blue jays will migrate south for the winter. But some will also stay in the cold north. It seems that they alternate seasons, migrating one year and staying the next and then migrating again the next year.
they go south for winter
Blue jays are mostly non migratory..Some Northern birds may withdraw southward in winter.
Blue jays do not migrate south for the winter like some bird species. They tend to stay in their breeding range year-round, which includes most of North America. They rely on food sources like acorns and other seeds to survive the winter months.
Blue jays do not hibernate. They stay active year-round and continue to forage for food during the winter months. Blue jays are able to adapt to colder climates by storing food and seeking shelter in dense vegetation.
I have been feeding squirrels peanuts and my blue jays go crazy for them. I am worried about winter here in NJ as if I have to feed them all winter or not. I buy $40. and love watching these beautiful birds eat but do not want them to freeze as our winters have been getting pretty bad with snow and cold. If I stop feeding them will they go somewhere south where it is warmer.
how do blue jays glide
No. There are thousands of species of birds. Many birds do last the winter. For example, penguins, cardinals, blue jays.
Blue jays migrate along the Great Lakes and Atlantic coasts of North America. Although they are residents across the United States, some do migrate south for the winter, but not necessarily every year.
Blue Jays eat berries, seeds, beechnuts and acorns during the winter. Often they'll feed on animals such as mice, caterpillars, grasshoppers and larger insects and they'll also feed on baby birds as well as Birds' Eggs.
Yes. They often bury seeds and acorns. They frequently forget them too.
Baby blue jays are called chicks.
