From time-to-time, a large group of Steller's Jays will fly through my patch of the woods and they'll stop for an hour as a big group. On a normal day, I see 2-4 Steller's. On days like today, there will be 20-30 individuals and it's a big party. The commotion also attracts the magpies and sometimes others.

I'll upload some video of other occassions when they swarm in together. Fun to watch!
