Continuing and strikingly beautiful jay of unknown provenance endemic to southwestern Mexico. Blue back and wings on the upperparts, black head, underparts and bill, white eye. We found it after a long rain in a bare tree to the west of parking lot 3 loosely associating with several Blue Jays while staking out the Yellow-headed Caracara. It preened for awhile allowing for a photo op. Briefly flew into the parking area trees on the west end and opposite side of the lot from the dumpsters where it was a bit more reserved burying itself in the middle of the branches. I was hoping to find it while looking for the Yellow-headed Caracara, but it turned out to be the other way around. Lifer! Photos.
