Can anyone tell me the name (in Mexican) for the Mexican Jay Bird? It looks a lot like the California Scrub Jay. Thank you.

If by "Mexican" you mean Nahuatl, you may be thinking of the tzintzontle. But it's not the same bird. If you mean Spanish, Aphelocoma Ultramarina is simply called "p?jaro azul" in Baja, Guanajuato and Yucatan. It's "ru?n" in Michoacan and "grajo azul, urraca azulejo or azulejo" in other parts of the country.
