David Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 I saw this bird where I live in a suburb on the San Francisco peninsula. The closest bird in my guide is the scrub jay, but I see a lot of differences. Anyone know what it is?

Out of interest, what differences do you see between your photo and the bird in your guide? What guide do you have? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Western Scrub Jay was split into California and Woodhouse's Scrub Jay... by location this would be a California as IBH stated above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting. I'm an East Coast guy, so that is news too me. I guess I need to look at my pics and see what I actually have from my few trips out there. May have increased my life list by one.
