'''Common Name:''' Green Jay<br> '''Scientific Name:''' Cyanocorax luxuosus '''Size:''' 10-11.4 inches (25-29 cm) '''Habitat:''' North America; Southern Texas south into Mexico and Central America. Found in open woodland and brushy mesquite thickets. '''Status:''' Least Concern. '''Global Population:''' Unknown amount of mature individuals. The range appears to be expnading in Texas. '''Diet:''' Arthropods, vertebrates, seeds, and fruit. '''Nesting:''' A Green Jay flock consists of a breeding pair, the current year's nestlings, and one-year-old, non-breeding jays from the previous year's nest. The one-year-olds defend the territory, which aids the parents, but they are ejected from the family flock soon after the current year's nestlings have fledged. Nests are a flimsy open cup of thorny twigs, usually lined with fine roots, vine stems, moss, and dry grass and are placed in trees. The female lays pale greenish white eggs with dark spots near large end. '''Cool Facts:''' The Central American and South American populations of the Green Jay are separated by 1,500 km (900 mi). The two different groups differ in color, calls, and habitat use, and may be different species. The South American Green Jays are larger and have a crest in front of their eyes. It has been suggested that the North American taxa should be considered separate species, ''Cyanocorax luxuosus''. If following this taxonomy, the northern species retains the common name Green Jay, while the South American population, which retains the scientific name ''Cyanocorax yncas'', is renamed the Inca Jay '''Found in Songbird ReMix Cool 'n' Unusual Birds 3'''
