They have a prominent triangular crest that often stands nearly straight up from their head. Like other jays, Steller’s Jays are bold, inquisitive, intelligent, and noisy.

Red Fox And Gray Fox Spotted On Barranca Mesa
A red fox is spotted recently in this backyard on Barranca Mesa. Over the years, hundreds of gray foxes have been seen in Los Alamos, including in this backyard and throughout local canyons. But spotting red foxes has been very rare until this year. This red fox has been seen fairly consistently over the last few months. Red foxes are typically drawn to more open habitats while gray foxes favor forests. Photo by Hari Viswanathan

Daily Postcard: Coyote Strolls In Fall Sunshine At Bandelier
Daily Postcard: A coyote strolls in the fall sunshine around Bandelier National Monument. As members of the canine family, it is not unusual to discover that they have many characteristics similar to pet dogs. Coyotes are omnivores, eating pretty much whatever they can find. Although secretive, they don’t shy away from living in close contact with humans, and why it is important to keep campsites and picnic areas clean to discourage these wild animals from frequent contact with visitors.
