A green jay perched on a cactus in the Texas desert.

Cactus Inspection

Linn, Texas

Sharp spines on this old hedgehog cactus don't bother the green jay, or "querrequerre" as the species is known in Spanish. These birds replace blue jays in the far southern regions of Texas and down into the gulf coast of Mexico. Rather typical of the corvid family, they are omnivorous, eating everything from insects to seeds to peanuts, which they eagerly devour at feeders.
