Plush-crested Jay (Bolivia)

[Glenn Bartley]

While at one of the hotels I stayed at in Bolivia I noticed an area where two species of Jays seemed to be hanging around. Sure enough they had been placing fruit out for the birds. I'm always happy to find feeding stations so I was excited to set up on these guys. As it turned out this proved to be my only opportunity to do a feeder setup in Bolivia.

Glenn, this has everything, fab BG, stunning perch and a really great species.
Amazingly this looks almost identical to the Black chested Jay I captured in Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica right down to those amazing eye brows.
