Woodhouse's scrub jay

Woodhouse's scrub jay (Aphelocoma woodhouseii), [A] is a species of scrub jay native to western North America. It ranges from southeastern Oregon and southern Idaho to central Mexico. It comprises two distinct subspecies groups. They are Woodhouse's scrub jay (interior US and northern Mexico), and Sumichrast's scrub jay (interior southern Mexico). Woodhouse's scrub jay was once lumped with the California scrub jay and the island scrub jayand collectively called the western scrub jay. It was also lumped with the Florida scrub jay; the taxon was then called, simply, the scrub jay.[1] Woodhouse's scrub jay is nonmigratory and can be found in urban areas, where it can become tame and will come to bird feeders. While many refer to scrub jays as "blue jays", the blue jay is a different species of bird entirely.
