for some historical perspective:
The decision to split Western Scrub-Jay is a return to some much older
nomenclature. The 1886 AOU checklist included Florida Jay, California Jay
and Woodhouse's Jay. Santa Cruz Jay appeared in the 1895 checklist, and
all four were also on the 1910 checklist. Woodhouse's Jay was dropped from
the list that came out in 1931, and when the next full checklist was
published in 1957, there was only Scrub Jay. Florida Scrub-Jay and Island
Scrub-Jay re-appeared in the 1998 checklist along with Western Scrub-Jay.
