Observation details
Lifer! Very good looks at these big relatives of Mexican Jays. Heard their quiet bright little jay call “schjweet! schjweet!” and came back across the bridge and had very good looks. When they fly their wings make a loud swooping noise. All bright blue above, pale gray below, whiter at vent. Big black bill, no gray on back, no dark collar. Face all blue with maybe a hint of gray at auriculars but mostly just blue. Not shy, flew all over the parking area and went down to the ground to grab food. Watched one and got videos as it hammered on a piece of pine vegetation.
