A blue-green hybrid jay has been confirmed in Texas - offspring of blue jay (father) and green jay (mother), two lineages separated ~7 million years ago.

Scientists link the rare hybrid to climate-driven range overlap.

Two vibrant birds with striking blue and black heads, green and yellow bodies, perch on a tree branch surrounded by lush greenery, looking toward each other. Sunlight filters through the leaves, casting a warm glow on the pair as they appear to engage with each other.

Green Jays are birds of the tropics, whose range barely stretches into the USA in Texas.
Captured what looks to be love birds!

"A Pair of Green Jays Deep in Trees"

These Jays are birds of the tropics whose range barely stretches to southern Texas, where I saw this pair.
