Where to spot
Found in pine-oak forests, juniper woodlands, and canyons in mountainous regions of Mexico and the southwestern United States (Arizona, New Mexico, Texas).
How to spot

Mexican Jays are renowned for their highly cooperative breeding system, where several non-breeding adults help a single breeding pair incubate eggs and feed nestlings.
