Lovely pose and nicely separated from the forest. I like the environmental and habitat aspect and may have also looked at taking a slice off bottom to lose most of the oof leaves and branch. A very interesting looking bird.

Very nice jay! one for my wanna-see list! Nice inclusion of habitat and pose.

Hola Juan

Only place I eve saw them is near Playa Negra, Puerto Viejo, in the old cocoa pantations back from the road, I think they are very local.
Thanks for posting
