We took this photograph of an Azure Jay, Cyanocorax caeruleus, during the morning of October 4, 2011, at Reserva Volta Vehla. This jay is found in the Atlantic Forest and is the largest South American corvid. A black head and upper chest contrast with its blue plumage. Males and females are similar although females are usually smaller in size. We birded the main clearing area near the dining hall until the weather cleared. Temperatures were in the upper 70's on this cloudy, overcast morning. The Volta Velha Reserve is a popular birding spot in southern Brazil and is well-known among birders around the world. It is located in Itapoã on the northern coast of Santa Catarina state. The reserve encompasses about 2,300 acres within one of the largest areas of undisturbed Atlantic Forest (lowland rainforest on the coastal plain of Brazil) and is one of the most endangered biomes on earth.
