_Aphelocoma cyanea_
Size of the Blue Jay but quite unlike it in color.
The head, wings and tail are grayish blue without
white markings; the back is pale brown, the
underparts dirty white, with the throat
inconspicuously streaked and a faint bluish
breast-band.
_Range._ Florida between lat. 27° and 30°, and
chiefly along the coasts.
This is the 'Scrub-Jay' of Florida and is not to be confused with the
Florida Blue Jay. It lives in districts where scrub palmetto grows, but
also comes into gardens and grows where it soon responds to proper
treatment and becomes semi-domesticated. It nests early in April.
