Blue Jays: Numerous in the Hudson Valley And Not Really Blue
So what if I told you that Blue Jays aren t really blue, would you laugh and ask if I was color blind? Turns out Blue Jays aren t blue. As a matter of fact most birds that appear blue aren t blue, but let s just stick to Blue Jays for this article. I was not aware of this weird fact myself until today.
Earlier this afternoon I saw a Facebook post from the New York State Department of Environment Conservation (NYS DEC) that was sharing a fun fact. That fact was that Blue Jays aren t really blue. This prompted me to google this bit of information and it turns out that Blue Jays are indeed not blue at all. They are a completely different color which you wouldn t notice or even be able to see until you look at their feathers from underneath.
