Woodhouse's Scrub-Jay
About the Woodhouse's Scrub-Jay
Also known as: Western Scrub-Jay

Like many other corvid species, Woodhouse's Scrub-Jays cache surplus food for future use. They may also steal food from other bird caches and take measures to protect their own food stores from theft by other birds.
The common name of this species honors the American doctor and naturalist Samuel Washington Woodhouse. There is also a toad named in his honor.
