UNDOCUMENTED - Green Jay


acrylic on panel 11” x 14”
$3,500.

The Green Jay (Cyanocorax luxuosus) haunts wooded areas in the lowlands of Mexico, Belize, northern Guatemala and northwestern Honduras. Its range continues north up the Gulf Coast to the southern tip of Texas. In recent years, it has expanded its territory inside the United States, and today Green Jays can be seen as far north as the San Antonio area. Reintroduced condors show problematic behavior like extreme tameness, and lead poisoning has caused most of the Arizona birds to be re-trapped for chelation therapy.
