YES OKAY!

Cyanocitta is a genus in the family Corvidae, the family of birds called corvids, like crows, ravens, magpies, and jays. It basically means 'dark blue jay', cyan being 'dark blue' (coming from Greek kuanos) and citta being 'jay' (coming from Greek kissa). The two species in this genus are C. cristata (blue jay) and C. stelleri (Steller's jay). And for the blue jay, 'cristata' comes from the Latin word crista which means 'crested'.

They live just about all over North America, Steller's jays being in the west, and blue jays more to the east. And where they overlap, there tends to be interspecies breeding, which I believe ends up with the Steller's jays that have some white on them like blue jays, or blue jays that have more black like Steller's jays. And there are a total of thirteen subspecies of Steller's jays, and four subspecies of blue jays, which in the case of Cyanocitta is basically just the different colour variations throughout different areas of the range of each species.

guys why do I always have the urge to just go "did you know there are only two species in the genus cyanocitta" even to people I've already told it all to
