Pleske's Ground Jay is a unique and striking corvid species found in the arid regions of southwestern Asia. This primarily terrestrial bird is characterized by its pale plumage, black markings, and adaptations for desert living.
Where to spot
Inhabits the arid and semi-desert regions of eastern Iran, western Afghanistan, and southwestern Pakistan, preferring areas with sparse vegetation, gravel plains, and sand dunes.
How to spot
Requires visiting its specific arid habitat. Look for it foraging on the ground, often running rapidly. Its pale plumage can make it blend into the desert background, but its movements might reveal it.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Best observed during the cooler times of day, such as early morning and late afternoon, when they are most active.
