Blue
Jay Range Map
The Blue Jay is a year-round resident from
extreme east-central British Columbia and central
and southeastern Alberta to southern Quebec and
Newfoundland south to central and southeastern
Texas, the Gulf Coast, and southern Florida, and
west to eastern Montana and east-central New
Mexico. Northern populations are partly migratory
to the southern parts of the breeding range. The
Blue Jay inhabits deciduous and mixed woodlands,
especially prefering those with oak, beech, and
hickory, but also occurs in coniferous forests,
preferably where pines predominate. Also
frequents wooded islands, farms, gardens, parks,
citiesalmost anywhere trees are found in
grassland areas.
