The Canada Jay, also known as Gray Jay or Whiskeyjack, is a bird species native to North America. The name "Canada" is misleading as the bird is found across Alaska and the western mountains of the United States, as well as throughout Canada. The name "Gray Jay" refers to the bird's overall gray coloration, while "Whiskeyjack" is a name used by the Indigenous peoples of Canada. Other synonyms for the Canada Jay include camp robber, lumberjack, and venison hawk. These names highlight the bird's scavenging habits and its tendency to hang around campgrounds and cabins, stealing food from unsuspecting humans.
