Mountain Moment: Steller's Jay

Description

Steller’s Jays (Cyanocitta stelleri) are common visitors to the Longmire area as they look for food. These inquisitive birds forage for insects, seeds, nuts, eggs, small animals, and more, but will also happily eat unattended human food and garbage if given the opportunity. Remember to secure all food and do not feed any wildlife! As you can see in this video, Steller’s Jays find plenty to eat in the natural environment of Mount Rainier. NPS Video, filmed 3/6/25.
