Which jay would the "Gray-breasted" jay be? I assume Pinyon Jay or Clark's Nutcracker? Gary

Scrub Jay?

Otherwise known as Mexican Jay.
I wonder what it is doing here in Colorado!

Sure not a Scrub Jay--Mexican Jays have never been documented in Colorado (would be as good as the Streak-backed Oriole in Loveland last year)? Have a photo of it? Gary

Colorado "jay" records:
295. Gray Jay (Perisoreus canadensis)
296. Steller's Jay (Cyanocitta stelleri)
297. Blue Jay (Cyanocitta cristata)
298. Western Scrub-Jay (Aphelocoma californica)
299. Pinyon Jay (Gymnorhinus cyanocephalus)

If it comes back I will
try to get a photo.
The Steller's Jay chased it away.

The gray breasted jay came back
to our bird feeders yesterday.
He is a western scrub jay!
