the purplish-backed jay is a large member of the corvid family, native to northwestern mexico. this jay has a large beak and somewhat resembles its crow relatives. the purplish-backed jay is distinctly colored, with yellow legs, purple wings, tail and back, and black elsewhere (juveniles have yellow beaks). they live in small groups consisting of parents and their offspring in dry, deciduous forests.
So around November a friend gave me a deer carcass for a project I’m in the process of cultivating. I left it hang in a tree over winter to dry out. Today, I went to take it down…but to my surprise, I found new life forming in the heart of death.
