the blue jay mainly feeds on nuts and seeds such as acorns, soft fruits, arthropods, and occasionally small vertebrates. it typically gleans food from trees, shrubs, and the ground, though it sometimes hawks insects from the air. like squirrels, blue jays are known to hide nuts for later consumption. it builds an open cup nest in the branches of a tree, which both sexes participate in constructing. the clutch can contain two to seven eggs, which are blueish or light brown with brown spots. young are altricial, and are brooded by the female for 8–12 days after hatching. they may remain with their parents for one to two months.

united states army security agency (usasa) field station augsburg was the site of a wullenweber an/flr-9 (v8) radio direction finder, established during the cold war. field station augsburg was located on gablingen kaserne, near the village of gablingen just north of augsburg in bavaria, west germany. it was one of nearly 20 field stations positioned strategically around the world by u.s. armed forces during the cold war. field station augsburg opened in 1971 and closed in 1998, at which time it was turned over to the german government. it was owned and managed by the national security agency and manned by the u.s. army security agency (usasa), which later became u.s. army inscom (intelligence and security command), in conjunction with other branches of the u.s. military and various allied forces. personnel assigned to field station augsburg were composed of individuals who scored high enough on the army entrance exams to be classified as "st" or a skilled technician, which is the army's top-ranked job category. field station augsburg was manned 24 hours a day, by means of rotating shifts, as part of the effort to ensure the safety and security of the u.s., as are any country's intelligence operations. there was a saying in the '70s that if the intelligence units were able to effectively do their job, the combat units wouldn't have to do theirs. the mission of usafsa was to monitor the communications of cold war enemy nations, their allies, and client states around the world. the information gathered was time-sensitive and, based on its importance and classification, that information was collected, analyzed and passed through intelligence channels on a "real-time" basis.
