    Finally saw the rerun. It was supposed to be a blue-jay but the tail feathers were too long. God bless those of you who tried to look it up

    Got it!

    I was wondering that too. So far the best candidate I can find that fits its description is the Island Scrub-Jay

    Still not convinced that this it the right bird.
