September 18, 2022 - Violaceous Jay (Cyanocorax violaceus)

Found in parts of Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Peru, and Venezuela these jays live in a variety of open habitats, often near rivers and lakes. Foraging in flocks, they eat fruit, insects, the eggs of reptiles and birds, and small lizards, picking their prey from branches. Though not many of their nests have been observed, they likely build bulky nests in trees from large twigs with a lining of fine plant fibers where females lay clutches of five eggs.
