June 5, 2018 - Yucatan Jay (Cyanocorax yucatanicus) Immature

Found mostly on the Yucatán Peninsula and in nearby parts of Belize and Guatemala, these jays take several years to develop their adult plumage and appearance. Juveniles have white head and body feathers and immature birds molt into black feathers, but have bright yellow beaks and eye rings which don’t turn black until their fourth year of age. They eat fruit, seeds, insects, spiders, and slugs, sometimes feeding on invertebrates flushed by army ants. Pairs build shallow cup-shaped nests from sticks and coarse plant fibers and care for the chicks with assistance from several adult helpers.
