If you spend time outside, you have probably seen a bird from the corvid family. There are nine different kinds of corvids in Idaho: the common raven, American crow, black-billed magpie, Clark’s nutcracker and five species of jays. The jays you might see are Steller’s jay, Woodhouse’s scrub-jay, pinyon jay, Canada jay, and even an occasional eastern blue jay.

Get to know these social birds in the November edition of Wildlife Express.
