Creation year
1960s
Fritz has depicted this eurasian jay in the style of a scientific illustration. The spread wings show the striking plumage of this colorful corvid to its best advantage. In the fall, jays build up large stocks of acorns, which they feed on in the winter. As a side effect, this species also contributes to the spread of oak trees in the forests.
