Woodhouse's Scrub-Jay

- In southern Arizona, the Woodhouse’s Scrub-Jay (Aphelocoma Woodhouseii) lives primarily in the low-elevation transition zones where the desert meets the mountain uplands
- While highly common along central Arizona's Mogollon Rim, its presence in the southern "Sky Islands" region is highly dependent on specific elevation belts and plant communities
- To spot one, target dry canyons, high-desert chaparral, and low foothills: Santa Catalina Mountains, Huachuca Mountains, Chiricahua Mountains, Buenos Aires National Wildlife Refuge
