I don't know if this is even possible, but is it possible to identify a specific blue jay? We had a Blue Jay (that we named Charlie) that was extremely comfortable around us, he entered our home, sat on my shoulders - he is the reason I became a bird watcher and grew to understand the magnificence of birds. He left in the winter and today for the first time in months we had a blue jay on our property, before "Charlie" we never had blue jays. I was only able to take a quick picture of him as my dog started barking and the blue jay flew off. So I am wondering if it is possible to match up specific birds because each bird has a uninque marking, or are all Blue Jays "Identical"? I have provided pictures so that some of you may help me, is the bird on the left the same bird as the one on the right?
Thanks :)
