White-throated Jay

Cyanolyca viridicyanus

The White-throated Jay is a striking bird found in the cloud forests of the Andes mountains in South America. With its vibrant blue plumage and distinctive white throat, it is a visually stunning species. These jays are highly social and often travel in small groups, foraging for fruits, insects, and small vertebrates. Their vocalizations are loud and varied, often echoing through the forest. The White-throated Jay plays an important role in seed dispersal and ecosystem health within its habitat.
