There are several recent Blue Jay sightings from these parts. David Mann
tells me a couple of these were called in to Spokane Audubon.

a) Downtown Malden, north edge Whitman Co. The farm towns of the Palouse get
their share of Blue Jays.

b) Spokane River, near confluence with Columbia, north of Davenport.

c) West Spokane, two in Jim Acton's backyard. (great yard list)

I heard that a pair Blue Jays were found to be breeding in the Walla Walla
area several years ago. Considering that pairs have been seen in mid summer
lately (Cheney, north Spokane), recent breeding in state is very possible, I
believe.
