A Bird Watcher's Guide to Blue Jays

by Katherine Ponka

Overview

Birds can be beautiful creatures—with some pretty quirky habits. Blue jays, for example, rub ants on themselves when they molt to soothe their skin. They can also mimic other animals’ voices, such as a hawk’s cry. This volume, presented in journal format, offers a wealth of information about the backyard life of a blue jay. Science curriculum topics such as habitats, adaptations, predators, and more are included in this engaging account. Readers will want to begin bird-watching themselves after finding out more about this brightly colored bird.
