Habitat

Coniferous and mixed coniferous-deciduous forest; humid coniferous forest (in northwestern North America), and arid pine-oak; also occurs in open woodland, campsites, orchards, and gardens (AOU 1983). Usually nests in a conifer tree, sometimes nests in shrub, 2.5-4 m above ground, sometimes up to 30 m (Terres 1980).

Ecology

May travel in flocks of a dozen or more but less gregarious than other jays (Terres 1980).
