Spotted
The Azure-naped Jay is a distinctive and rare New World jay found in a specific region of the Amazon rainforest in South America. It is characterized by its iridescent azure nape.
Where to spot
Restricted to humid lowland rainforests in a specific part of the northwestern Amazon basin, primarily in Venezuela and Colombia.
How to spot
Observation requires visiting its specific and remote Amazonian habitat. Look for its overall dark plumage with a bright azure blue patch on the nape. Listen for its calls, as it can be elusive.
When to spot
Active during daylight hours, often observed in small groups moving through the forest canopy.
