The Pinyon Jay is a unique and highly social New World jay found in western North America. It is strongly associated with pinyon pine and juniper woodlands.
Where to spot
Found in pinyon-juniper woodlands and open pine forests across western North America, from Oregon to New Mexico.
How to spot
Look for its uniform blue-grey plumage and relatively short tail. Listen for its distinctive, high-pitched 'krawk' calls. Often seen in large, noisy flocks moving through pine woodlands.
When to spot
Active throughout the year during daylight hours. Most easily observed when large flocks are foraging for pine nuts.

Pinyon Jays are highly nomadic and form large, coherent flocks that travel widely in search of pinyon pine seeds, their primary food source, which they cache for later.
