Pinyon Jays are known for their nomadic nature and large home ranges and are typically found within the elevation range of 4,000 to 8,500 ft. Though #PinyonJays can turn up in unexpected places, this particular survey plot may be pushing the upper limits. Beautiful views, though! #birds

Here's a good example of a Pinyon Jay colony site near the Sweetwater Range in #Nevada. In the Great Basin, their nest trees are usually mid-sized and large pinyon pines or junipers (about 12-30’ tree height), but elsewhere, #PinyonJays appear to nest in trees of nearly any size. #NevadaPinyonJays
