Juvenile Yucatan Jay

[RVT1K]

One of the youngsters. The white will change to black and the blue turns to a very cool electric-blue as they mature. Shots of a cooperative adult to follow at some point...

Interesting bird.

They travel in big, family groups so you often see a bunch with a mix of adults and juveniles. Getting a shot of an adult that shows off the electric blue will be tough since the lighting needs to be spot-on to see the colors. Otherwise they just look dark blue to black.

The beak on this one really lets you know it's a member of the corvid family.
