California Scrub Jay: A coastal subspecies group of the Western Scrub Jay, a species that ranges from southern Washington State east to central Texas and south to central Mexico. It is a medium sized bird with blue, white and gray coloration. Western Scrub Jay habitats are typically scrub-brush, boreal forests, temperate forests, coastal regions and suburban areas. Scrub Jays are often referred to as or associated with Blue Jays, but this is a false connection. The two are entirely separate species.
I see Western Scrub Jays, probably the California Scrub Jay, often in Golden Gate Park.
