Pander's ground jay,[1] grey ground jay or Turkestan ground-jay (Podoces panderi) is a species of bird in the crow and jay family, Corvidae. It is found in central Asia, particularly Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. More specifically, they tend to be found in Astragalus, Calligonum and southern Salsola vegetation zones.[2] It is closely related to the Persian ground-jay of Iran.
