Mexican Jay (Aphelocoma wollweberi)

This is one of the 'southern jays'. While it shares many charactistics with the Western Scrub Jay and Pinyon Jay, it is easily distinguished by the completely gray underside. To see this in the U.S., one must travel either to extreme SE Arizona or the Big Bend National Park in Texas.
