Warming temperatures have prompted a rare hybridization of a blue jay and green jay, according to researchers at the University of Texas.

A rare bird alert on the eBird app led University of Texas researchers to discover a rare hybrid from a blue jay and green jay mating.

The newfound bird hybrid "may be among the first examples of a hybrid animal that exists because of recent changing patterns in the climate," according to researchers.

The hybrid bird is the product of two species whose habitat ranges began to overlap a few decades ago, potentially due to climate change, researchers said.
