  Jay - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jay is a common name for several species of medium-sized, usually colorful and noisy passerine or perching birds in the family Corvidae, or crow family.
The names 'jay' and 'magpie' are somewhat interchangeable, and the actual evolutionary relationships are rather complex.
For example, the Eurasian Magpie seems more closely related to the Eurasian Jay than to the Oriental Blue and Green Magpies, whereas the Blue Jay is not closely related to either.

Scrub jays are rarely found as residents in habitat with more than 50% canopy cover that is over 3 meters (10 feet) tall, but may have intersparsed (non-canopied) sand pine (Pinus clausa).
Jays avoid mature forested areas entirely (they do occupy early successional stages of forest habitat); they also are entirely absent from prairies and marshes (01).
Scrub jays have disappeared from 40% of the locations where they formerly occurred, and the toatal population has declined by half in the past 100 years.

Jays treaty, the whole country was agitated with that question.
The constitutionality of the treaty was attacked with peculiar vehemence, and, strange as it may appear, there was scarcely a man in Virginia who did not believe that a commercial treaty was an infringement of the power given to Congress to regulate commerce.
Several other articles of the treaty were pronounced unconstitutional; but, on the particular ground of commerce, the objectors believed themselves to be invulnerable.
