About These Birds

American Crow

The American crow is one of North America's most familiar and intelligent birds. Research has shown they can recognize individual human faces and communicate perceived threats to other crows. They form large winter roosts of up to hundreds of thousands of individuals in some cities.

Black-chested Jay

The Black-chested Jay is a medium-sized, boldly patterned jay of humid lowland forests in Central America and northwestern South America, with a blue body, black head and breast patch, and a white forehead patch. It ranges from Honduras south to Ecuador and Venezuela, inhabiting forest edges, secondary growth, and sometimes gardens. It feeds on fruits, large insects, and occasionally small vertebrates.
