White-throated Magpie-Jay

The White-throated Magpie-Jay is a spectacular, large, and often conspicuous jay of tropical lowland forests, plantations, and semi open areas with hedges and tall trees.

It is usually in small groups and can be surprisingly inconspicuous if feeding quietly.

The White-throated Magpie-Jay ranges in Pacific-slope thorn forest from Jalisco, Mexico, to Guanacaste, Costa Rica. Magpie-jays are noisy, gregarious birds, often traveling in easy-to-find flocks, mobbing their observers and were easy to find around the resort in the mornings.
