White-throated Jay

Cyanolyca mirabilis

The White-throated Jay, or Cyanolyca mirabilis, known locally as the Omiltemi Jay, is a striking member of the Corvidae family. This bird is characterized by its distinctive white throat, which contrasts with its overall dark plumage.

Identification Tips

When attempting to identify the White-throated Jay, look for its white throat patch, which stands out against its darker feathers. The bird's plumage is primarily a deep blue-black, providing a stark backdrop for the white throat.

Habitat

This species is found in subtropical or tropical moist montane forests, where it thrives in the dense foliage provided by these environments.

Distribution

Endemic to the Sierra Madre del Sur ranges of Mexico, the White-throated Jay is a bird that is very much a part of the local landscape and is not found elsewhere in the world.

Behaviour

The White-throated Jay, like many corvids, exhibits complex social behaviors and is known for its intelligence and adaptability within its montane forest habitat.

Conservation Status

The White-throated Jay is currently classified as Vulnerable by the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. The primary threat to this species is habitat loss, which is impacting its already limited range. Conservation efforts are essential to ensure the survival of this unique bird.

Makes you want to spot birds more
I think this app is fun. It makes you want to spot birds more so I guess in a way it encourages you to get out and about instead of sitting in front of the TV.
