The tufted jay (Cyanocorax dickeyi) is a species of bird in the crow and jay family Corvidae. It is endemic to a small area of the Sierra Madre Occidental of Sinaloa and Durango in Mexico, including the Espinazo del Diablo region, and is threatened by deforestation there.[2]
It is resident in relatively moist, epiphyte-laden subtropical montane forests, especially those with a large component of oaks.
