You can't tell the difference unless you see them mating. iBird says male and female are similar.
This is one of few that are this way. Many birds are very different between the sexes.

Generally speaking the male is slightly larger than the female. The best way to tell is to observe the nesting actions of them.

Listento their chatter, then chose the one that goes on and on, while the other one sorta hangs his head. I’ll let you chose from this point on. 😎😎😎

Check the branding. Most all bluejays have a brand to allow the owner to tell the difference.
