Tweets,

There was a Blue Jay (not a scrub-jay) reported in late November and early December on the se corner of Discovery Park (by Scott Atkinson, a flyover) and apparently this same individual paid several visits to a feeder about 6 blocks to the east in the Magnolia neighborhood, where it was photographed. We search hard for it for the Christmas Count without success. Presumably, this is the same bird.

I answer the e-mail at the Seattle Audubon, and have seen several recent reports, one with photos attached, of single Blue Jays in Ballard and in Magnolia near Discovery Park. I don't know how many individual birds are involved, but it/they definitely is/are Blue Jays. (I encourage people who see these birds to report them to the BirdBox, but they don't do it.)

Hi Michael-

Do you mean Blue Jay or Western Scrub Jay? I have been hearing what I swear is a Blue Jay call around my apartment in Fremont over the past few weeks. I haven't even gone outside to look, assuming it must be a caged bird in a near-by building. I grew up back east, and upon hearing the call, Blue Jay was the first thing that came to mind.



I did see a Western Scrub Jay in Ballard back in October.
