Green Jay by Andrej Chudy Green Jay (Cyanocorax yncas), Laguna Seca Ranch, Texas. The south Texas population of Green Jay is unusual in retaining related nonbreeders in family flocks, but without cooperative breeding (i.e., helpers-at-the-nest). Flocks in this region consist of a breeding pair, current year's nestlings, and one year-old non-breeding jays from the previous year's reproductive effort. The Green Jay's range has been expanding in Texas, and populations increased between 1966 and 2015, according to the North American Breeding Bird Survey..
