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
Look for its plain, uniform blue-grey plumage with no crest. Listen for its diverse, often conversational and nasal 'wup-wup' calls, given by the group. They are often bold and approachable.
When to spot
Active year-round during daylight hours. Often seen in noisy family groups.

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.
