Random Bird Thursday: A Highly Vocal Species With Female Helpers

In each Random Bird Thursday (RBT) episode, the goal is to highlight a bird species that probably isn't going to get featured in a full-length podcast episode. These are birds we might overlook, even though they certainly deserve some appreciation and attention.  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ⚠️ SPOILER ALERT! The featured species in this episode is the White-throated Magpie-Jay (Cyanocorax formosus). Sound Citations: Isain Contreras Rodríguez, XC530762. Accessible at www.xeno-canto.org/530762.
