Black-chested Jay

 

The Black-chested Jay is a striking jay with mostly black head and throat, deep indigo upperparts, and contrasting white belly. It has a long tail with white tip and pale eyes.


Usually found in small family groups which was the case for us as there was a large presence of these jays around. Occurs in forested habitats, including shrubby second growth and forest edge. Calls include a harsh doubled “chee-chee” and other mechanical and musical notes.
