Birdtober Day One: Plush-crested Jay

 

The American prompt list today has the Blue Jay, but I decided to go for the more generic Jay on the International version. The video above shows a Plush-crested Jay, which I saw four times in Paraguay, all but once in the Asunción Jardin Botanico. The other time was while visiting my brother's home in the countryside. My brother and I were doing some early-morning birding on my birthday.
