Squid Layfield was changing the oil in his truck when he got a visitor. A Steller’s jay flew out of a nearby tree, wanting to be his bird friend. Although a relative of the blue jay, the Steller’s jay is larger and darker. Given the speed at which Squid produced the handful of nuts, we can safely assume that this little bird friend is a frequent flyer at the Squid Diner. @squidinalaska I was doing a oil change and this big stellar jay decided to get a treat #birds ♬ Welp, Didn’t Expect That – Yu-Peng Chen & HOYO-MiX Steller’s jays get their name from Georg Steller, who discovered them on an island in Alaska in 1741. Steller was a naturalist on a Russian ship exploring the area. The species was officially named after Steller in 1788. He also discovered the Steller’s sea eagle and Steller’s sea lion. This one appears to be familiar enough with Squid to eat out of his hand without hesitation. Although he jokingly calls them “government surveillance” jays, it is apparent that he likes his little bird friend. Image from TikTok. Blue jays are a more vibrant, bright blue, while the Steller’s jay is darker with only a few bright highlights. As the Eastern blue jays are moving farther westward, Steller’s jays are moving eastward. Currently, the two species are meeting up in the Rockies, where some are interbreeding. This is creating a new, hybrid species that has no name yet. Both blue jays and Steller’s jays can mimic other animal sounds. While the blue jay does an incredible scream of a red-shouldered hawk, the Steller’s jay has a larger repertoire. In addition to mimicking some mechanical items, the jay can imitate squirrels, dogs, cats, chickens, and other birds. Squid’s bird friend and the blue jay build their nests with mud, and are the only North American jays with crests. Please share. You can find the source of this story’s featured image here.

The Jam began their journey in Woking, Surrey, England in the early 1970s, when a young Paul Weller formed a band with friends who shared his deep love of rock and rhythm and blues. Originally starting as a school group, the band gradually developed into a tight, powerful trio featuring Weller on guitar and vocals, Bruce Foxton on bass and backing vocals, and Rick Buckler on drums. As the punk explosion began to dominate the British music scene in 1976, The Jam quickly found their place among it, not by mimicking the aggression of punk’s rawest acts but by infusing The post Complete List Of The Jam Songs From A to Z appeared first on ClassicRockHistory.com.

On today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words,” Victor Davis Hanson and Jack Fowler single out the two major takeaways from last week’s New York City mayoral debate: Andrew Cuomo is a shell of his former self and Zohran Mamdani is a “carnivore in sheep’s clothing.” They also discuss how exactly John Bolton’s ego got the best of him, and why President Donald Trump should call Prime Minister Keir Starmer and remind him of what happened in 1935 Germany following reports of U.K. authorities banning Israeli fans from attending a forthcoming soccer match in England.
