Description

The jay is approximately 30 cm (12 in) long. Adults are black, with cerulean blue wings, mantle, and tail. They have black bills, yellow eye rings, and yellow legs. Juvenile Yucatán jays have completely yellow bare parts and white, rather than black, body plumage. They molt out of the white plumage by September or October, but retain the yellow bill and eye ring for a few more months. They also have pale-tipped rectrices, which the adults lack.

Yucatan Jay primarily inhabit deciduous scrub forests and occasionally venture into coastal scrubs. They are adapted to various forested regions broadly within tropical zones.

Their preference for varied woodland environments extends across broad geographical tropical regions, demonstrating their adaptability to different forest habitats.
