The Green Jay is a conspicuous and visually-striking species occupying two disjunct geographic ranges in the western hemisphere. Its expanding northern population occurs from southern Texas down through eastern Mexico to Belize, Guatemala, and Honduras, and in a second, narrower band along the Pacific Slope of Mexico. Its South American population extends from northeastern Venezuela west and then south along the Andes Mountains of Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and northwest Bolivia.
