When he came back I said, "I saw an amazing tropical looking bird I'd never seen before." He asked me to describe it and I explained that, well, it actually looked a lot like a bluejay, but green. He says, "it's probably a green jay". I laughed and was like, 'OK whatever', thinking he was pulling my leg. He wasn't.

Yes sir, the first one I ever saw I had the same thought, and yea Roger will pull your leg. Last edited by Elkhunter49; 01/22/22.

I thought that I had seen every sort of Jay in the US - including those noisy flocks of Pinyon Jays - but your Green Jay is totally new. Probably good reason - have not yet gotten down to visit Blue and only time I have been in your part of TX was to pilfer a golf cart. NRA Member - Life, Benefactor, Patron

We have lots of blue jays here, but to my knowledge, that’s the only type around here. We really enjoy seeing the stellars when we’re in CO or Canada. We also saw what I believe were pinyon jays when we were hiking in Escalante UT this year.
