Cyanocorax Genus

Cyanocorax is a genus of jays, passerine birds in the crow family Corvidae.

It contains several closely related species that primarily are found in wooded habitats of Mexico and Central and South America, with two species, the Brown Jay and the Green Jay, just barely entering the United States. Coincidentally, these are also the only species in this genus where the upperparts are not primarily blue or purplish.

It includes the Green Jay, Cyanocorax yncas and the Brown Jay, Cyanocorax morio.
