What a Pretty Boy

What a Pretty Boy (Aphelocoma wollweberi)

There is something about the subtle blues and grays of a Mexican Jay that always makes me want to take a shot. These Jays are closely related to our Scrub-Jays. Mexican Jays are large and very social. They like to travel in noisy groups throughout Oak woods. I don't think I've ever seen a lone Mexican Jay, they are always in groups.
