Field Notes

Description:

The Brown Jay (Psilorhinus morio) is a large American Jay which has the habitus of a magpie, but is slightly smaller and with a shorter tail, though the bill is larger.

Habitat:

It occurs from Mexico south into Central America on the Gulf slope.

Notes:

The locals considered this bird to be a pest. I think it was always taking the fruit off the trees...
