Steller's Jay

The Steller's Jay primarily lives in coniferous forests but can be found in many forested areas. They can be found in low to moderate elevations as high as the tree line, but rarely go that high. Steller's Jays are common in residential and agricultural areas with nearby forests. The range is primarily west of the Rocky Mountains, reaching as far south as Central America and as far north as Alaska.

Birders have reported recent sightings of the Steller's Jay in San Antonio, Texas. This bird is rare in Texas, particularly outside of migration and breeding seasons.
