Utah Scrub Jay

I know Scrub Jays are famous for hiding extra food. I often wondered whether they remember where they hid it. I have repeatedly watched one return to an area where food usually is placed. Upon finding none, the jay immediately has darted to locations where it uncovered & grasped cached cashews in its bill. They do remember! I'm impressed.

Have you seen them battle over food?
Others yes...but this pair is pretty calm.

Great shot, love the colors. 
Thanks. Jay feathers are reflective/refractive...needs sunlight to produce rich color.
