The California Scrub-Jay is a familiar jay occurring in coastal states of the western United States, from Washington to California and south to the southern tip of Baja California. It is accidental in Texas. This species is the result of a recent taxonomic split of the Western Scrub-Jay (Aphelocoma californica) complex, leading to recognition of both the California Scrub-Jay (A. californica) and Woodhouse’s Scrub-Jay (A. woodhouseii) (1, 2), the latter species occupying inland areas of the southwestern United States, extending into southern Mexico.
