Usually, the belly and breast will be gray; the head will hold blue colors and the back will hold brown as well as gray hues.
This species prefers to live in areas of Montana woods, forests, and areas considered as low scrubs. Normally, this bird will be seen in pairs, or family groups. The Western Scrub Jay likes to eat a variety of foods including eggs, young birds, frogs, insects, and lizards. They also enjoy feeding on seeds as well as nuts. Berries are also a delight to these western breeds.
