Mexican Jay or Grey Breasted Jay

Back to my alphabetical series on my "5" Star Photos.

The Mexican Jay, which used to be called the Grey Breasted Jay, ranges from Central Mexico to Southeastern Arizona, Southwestern New Mexico, and extreme Southwestern Texas. It is similar in size to a Stellar Jay, but is the heaviest of all the Jays. They usually fly together in groups and are quite noisy. Like the Western Scrub Jay it usually finds higher elevation picnic sites looking for scraps to eat. It is a very beautiful and because it likes those picnic areas can be photographed relatively easy.
