Curtis P. Lyons James A. Sedgwick Erin L. Muths 2007 <p>We describe a successful Blue Jay (<i>Cyanocitta cristata</i>) nest in an unusual structure on the side of a building. &nbsp;The nest was located near the edge of the species' range along the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains in Colorado. &nbsp;The nest was completely obvious, suggesting that the structure itself provided adequate cover and sercurity for the jays. &nbsp;Blue Jays appear to be declining in some areas of the United States such as the Southeast. &nbsp;Structures such as the one we describe may be more useful in attracting Blue Jays than the nesting platforms available commercially.</p> application/pdf en Wisconsin Society for Ornithology Blue jays nest in an unusual structure article
