This is not a Sand jay, this is a picture of a Brown jay in Texas. but it's brown, so it's somewhat similar to a sand jay.

The sand jay is a newly discovered species of Jay that was discovered in 2026. It is a member of the Corvidae family. It is brown-tan in colour, somewhat similar to sand or dark sand and dirt, giving its name the 'sand jay' (although it's also believed it's named after one of the zoologists who discovered it).

It's questioned why a bird would live here of all places, but it's guessed why is that because there is less competition for jays, as most jays live in rural areas. Sand jays tend to gravitate towards parks and green spaces nonetheless.

It is native to Connecticut and surrounding states, although some specimens are found the way in Canada and even some held in captivity in the UK and Europe, although it's believed some of those captive jays escaped into the wild UK/Europe. They seem to be in urban areas more often, such as Bridgeport, as a result of that they have a mildly higher tolerance to radioactivity and air pollution. It is believed once everyone leaves Bridgeport, the sand jays will take over, like how some wild animals and nature returned to Chernobyl years after the disaster in Chernobyl.

The sand jay has been observed jingling keys to attract a mate. So far, sand jays seem to really like keyjingling.

The sand jay is known to be quite intelligent similar to their Crow buddies, having a basic ability to use objects as tools, such as an instance of a sand jay jingling keys and gathering items in their nests/homes to attract a mate, similar to a birdsong or peacocks (zhuzher birds) showcasing their feathers; sand jays have been discovered to have somewhat an affinity for shiny and/or jingly objects, along with books, documents, and other paper. It is even believed that they even have basic language abilities (via tweeting (the actual bird sound NOT posting on Twitter, they are smart enough not to use that website)) although this has yet to be studied further.

It is estimated that there are approximately 2,000 sand jays in the wild, and there are 133 sand jays in 133.

I would show an image of a sand jay here but they are all camera shy and all photos of it online are copyrighted meaning it can't be showed on Wikipedia (as they only allow free-use images).

Like with every other jay, they are not genetically related to the Toronto Blue Jays, as that is a baseball team that consists of Humans, which are not birds or jays or Corvidae.
