Driving west on Hwy 109 through Hoquiam, I saw a Scrub Jay on a lamp post
Wednesday the 6th, my first sighting out of California. Thanks to all who
posted on Tweeters, or I would have been unaware of their presence.

Yes Guys! They are here. There are several of us that have been trying
to impress that on you for a couple of years now. I have one definate
pair, perhaps a second nesting on our property. They are a constant
presence on our suet feeders. Actually watched a cranky, very
territorial red wing attempt to keep them away from the feeders for
awhile this spring. It didn't work. The long and the short of it is
you don't have to go all the way to Longview to see Scurb Jays - I've
seen them as far north as Olympia with regularity and I don't doubt they
are probably much further north than that. I think people on this sight
have even reported them in Snohomish county. I believe them. After
all, a relatively large, loud, blue & white/grey bird agressively
cruising all over you property is a little hard to mistake for something
else.
