Yeah very familiar with them but they don’t get down to our area in south Corpus Christi, altho we see a family of them every year at Turnbull Birding Center in Port Aransas.

The adults of the WTHA do have that red shoulder like the Harris’s.

They are wonderful to see and they have the characteristic Jay attitude. They will also mimic birds like the Red-shouldered Hawk (as do the Blue Jays) to try and scare away other birds.

The location of the house, with a green belt right behind, is the reason we chose it. We’ve had a nice variety of birds and other critters pass through. Nature TV.
