CALIFORNIA SCRUB JAY FORAGES ON MULE DEER

Abstract

Two reports exist in the literature of oxpecker-like behavior in the Scrub Jay (Aphelocoma coerulescens sensu lato): one with Mule Deer (Odocoileus hemionus) in California (Dixon 1944), and one with feral hogs in Florida (Barber and Morris 1980).
