Scrub jay

I think you guys are right this is a mistake posting, saw this on Stanford campus in California. Ignore my first comment that was done by a teenager from my church!

That's what I was thinking Liam, as I also see he has spottings on the same day from Egypt. Though he kind of looks like a superhero in his pic, I don't think he can travel that fast. LOL. On a more serious note though, i was also trying to notice the plant it is on. To me looks more of an arid or dessert type plant.??

Ghobes, I see you have spottings in both California and New York. Am I correct in saying you accidentally mapped this one in the wrong location? Definitely a Western Scrub Jay (Aphelocoma californica immanis) either way.

If you saw this in NY then it may be a vagrant pushed up from Florida some time ago by Hurricane Irene. You should notify your local Audubon Society about the exact location you saw this bird.

Yeah I've seen these things in California a lot which made me really confused to see something like this in Nyack

I agree. This is a scrub jay and shouldn't be in NY. If it is, it's a pretty amazing sighting!

Gee, it looks like a Scrub Jay to me (Western or Island). But it shouldn't be in NY! They are both western species. You should only have blue jays but even for a juvi I don't see any white on the wings or on the cheeks. hmmm??? I think we need other opinions here from more experienced birders.
