"Columbia Jay," actually Black-throated Magpie Jay
John James Audubon, 1830
AUDUBON, JOHN JAMES (1785-1851), after. – HAVELL, Robert (1793-1878).
Columbia Jay (Plate 96)
Garrulus Ultramarinus
Variant 1. "The skins from which Audubon painted these birds were given him by a correspondent who said they had been collected on the Columbia River in Oregon. This could not have been true. The species is Mexican. The only sighting in the United States was a bird in an Arizona feeder, which the American Ornithologists' Union says was an escape. Although it doesn't belong in The Birds of America, it is a pleasure to have it because it is so beautiful" (Low p. 84). The current name of this species is the Black-throated Magpie Jay.
