Mean predicted pinyon jay (Gymnorhinus cyanocephalus) density (birds/km2) in 2008 (left) and 2020 (right)

Mean predicted pinyon jay (Gymnorhinus cyanocephalus) density (birds/km2) in 2008 (left) and 2020 (right) based on Bayesian hierarchical models accounting for incomplete detection. Gray polygon borders represent priority areas for conservation (PACs; U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 2013) for greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus). The model was informed by point counts conducted from 2008 – 2020; USA. Base map modified from National Weather Service, 1:2,000,000, 1980 digital data.
