Some birds migrate over long distances, but some simply travel to a different sort of area in a different season. For instance, American Robins may stay in the mid-Atlantic region in the winter, but rather than hang out on lawns and suburbs, they will form large flocks and head down to dense scrubby woods near the ocean, where the temperature may not get cold enough to freeze the ground, and they can find berries and small soft organisms to eat.
Blue Jays may or may not stay near their summer nesting areas, depending on whether there is sufficient food to see them through the winter (they often survive on nuts like acorns as well as insects they can find under bark and etc.) They prefer deeper woods in the winter, and like most birds don't sing or call as much, so they're less noticeable. If you maintain a feeder in the winter, though, you'll probably see them year-round.

In Illinois blue jays stay all winter and do not migrate. We have some very cold winters, so I would say that blue jays do not migrate.
