The Island Scrub Jay (Aphelocoma insularis) is one of five species of scrub jay (Aphelocoma) native to North America, and is endemic on Santa Cruz Island off the coast of Southern California. It is closely related to the Western Scrub Jay found on the adjacent mainland, but differs in being larger, more brightly colored, and having a markedly stouter bill. The large bill size is related to its diet, incorporating the thick-shelled acorns of the Island Oak Quercus tomentella.
