Bosque Bill on Nostr: Western Scrub-Jay Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge, NM Western Scrub-Jay ...
Western Scrub-Jay
Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge, NM
Western Scrub-Jay was split into California and Woodhouse's Scrub-Jay a few years ago. Of course now the movers and shakers of the birding community are on a quest to rename bird species labelled with a person's name (in case that person once did something objectionable.)
So, I'm going to keep calling this marvelous, colorful, bold jay by its former name.
