Scrub Jay or Blue Jay?

I am not sure what the correct title for this bird is. But when it shows up all other birds leave.

Thanks everyone for your comments. Yes, it is a scrub jay. And it is a bully. It shows up and the other birds leave. Other birds get along but not this one.

Nick that site is awesome. I have it saved and will certainly use it in the future. It had a perfect copy of that scrub jay. Thank you.

It is a combination of sunflower seeds and some type of grain. The birds love it. I buy 40 pound bags of this seed at Costco.
