They are common in southern Canada and in the United States, east of the Rocky Mountains.2]Blue jays prefer mixed woodlands, particularly those with clearings. They are also common in suburban areas and city parks.3]Blue jays are bright blue on top and whitish gray on the...

That's quite the achievement considering some of the great hitters that have played for the Boston Red Sox.
