[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Brown Jay (Cyanocorax morio)

This is the first record of the Brown Jay here on TN.
I photographed this large bird in the jungles of the Yucatan.

Note:

Brown Jays vary in plumage geographically: there are two main groups. Northern birds are almost completely dark brown, with lighter brown on the underparts. Southern birds are white-bellied and have bright white tips to the outer tailfeathers. The intergrade zone is in Veracruz.

It occurs from Mexico south into Central America on the Gulf slope. The northernmost extent of the bird is on the Rio Grande in southern Texas, the lower region of the river called the Rio Grande Valley, (of Texas).

Hi Everton.
Very attractive bird and impressive its pose. I like wonderful colouration of the feathers and precise reproduction of all its their tones and texture. Exposure of the image is spot on. I also like a scenery. Tree and nice branches with rich leaves create a fine BG for this beauty. My best wishes and kind regards.
