Not trying to be contrary, but I believe that bird to be a scrub jay. We see them all the time in western Oregon. The beak is longer and the color pattern and chest shape are consistant with a scrub jay.
They are pesky birds. Agressive towards other birds. We’ve had to protect swallow nests or the jays will eat the eggs or the hatchlings. But they will retreat if confronted by crows. They are attractive though, I’ll give them that.

You are not being contrary. A couple of us agree.

If you go back to page one you will see that I didn't ID the Jay. I just suggested it as a possibility!

It's a Woodhouse's Scrub-Jay.
