Bird with a harsh cry (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

jay

(Other definitions for jay that I've seen before include "Colourful member of crow family" , "Colourful British bird" , "Colourful type of crow" , "Garden bird" , "Bird of the crow family with blue plumage" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
