September 5, 2018 - Turquoise Jay (Cyanolyca turcosa)

Found from southwestern Colombia, through central Ecuador, to northern Peru, these jays live in mountainous humid cloud forests and elfin forests. Little is known about their diet, but they are thought to feed mostly on insects, foraging in small groups of two to six and often joining mixed-species flocks. They build nests from moss and other materials in forked branches of trees.

bird of the day: turquoise jay

the turquoise jay is a brightly colored member of the corvidae family, related to other jays, crows, and ravens.

little research has been done on the turquoise jay, even though they are fairly common. they are native to parts of south america, and are nonmigratory. they live in small flocks, sometimes mixing with other bird species.

the turquoise jay is rated least concern by the iucn. while not much research has been done on them, their population numbers seem to be high and they are coping with threats like habitat loss well.
