What does a blue jay nest look like?

A blue jay nest is typically a sturdy, cup-shaped structure made of twigs, grass, and other plant materials. It is usually lined with softer materials like pine needles, feathers, or moss for insulation. These nests are often built in the branches of trees, typically at a height of 5 to 15 feet. The overall appearance is somewhat messy but functional, providing a secure place for the eggs and chicks.
