Spring Walkabout Birds | Blue Jay Native to North America and northern Illinois, at least a few Blue Jays stay for the winter. They are here when winter turns into spring. They have beautiful plumage against the snow and green buds in early spring. They mainly feed on nuts and seeds so they show up at neighborhood bird feeders. They are very wary of people and fly at the first hint of sight or sound. Thus, it’s rare to capture an image on walkabout.
