Nice pictures. Can’t see the tuft on their head…just the way the are standing, or a different sub-species?

We have Stellar Jays here in the Lower Mainland but I've never seen an actual Blue Jay in the wild.

Blue jays are very common around most, if not all of NS…not sure how far inland they go.

Did some digging. The Blue Jay's normal range is from Central Alberta east in Canada. There are sightings of them on the West Coast but they are rare.

And I misspelled Steller's Jay, named after the naturalist Georg Steller that "discovered" them in 1741. They are found throughout BC and Southern Alaska, with their range extending down as far as Mexico. https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Stellers_Jay/overview

I've probably said this before...but 20 or so years ago the residential deer herd was massive and used my in-laws backyard to bed at night. my MiL would have to step over and around them to carry her compost to the pile. my wife even has a photo of her daughter petting the nose of a buck when she was about 5. the bucks name was Mikey and he had a lot of human interaction as a fawn so was people positive which in turn made his harem and herd people positive.
