Distribution

Read full entry
Cyanocorax caeruleus occurs in south-east Brazil (south São Paulo south to Rio Grande do Sul), north-east Argentina (Misiones and north Corrientes). A small number of records exist for Paraguay1,2,5,7, but these are not considered credible9. It is rare to locally common up to 1,000 m in lowland evergreen, southern temperate, white-sand and secondary forest and, at least seasonally, is most numerous in Araucaria forest6,7,8. Populations have apparently declined substantially, particularly in the west of its range, and is now most common in south-east Brazil7. Agricultural conversion and deforestation for mining and plantation production historically threaten its habitat, with current key threats from urbanisation, industrialisation, agricultural expansion, colonisation and associated road-building3,4.
