Steller's Jays are western birds, and along with their cousins the Blue Jays, they're the only North American jays with crests. These birds can be kissin' cousins; where their territories overlap, they may interbreed.
They feed on whatever they can find, including garbage. Apparently, jays have a dark side as well... they're not above robbing and killing.
