In the May Valley / Newcastle area (Cougar Mountain) I'm seeing Scrub Jays
on a regular basis. A real twist is that I'm also seeing Gray Jays both
along the ridges and right in May Valley almost weekly. Stellar's are still
the predominant Jay species - but the mix is very bizarre. A bird primarily
extending its range north, a bird primarily from higher mountain habitats,
and our normal good friends. I had all three Jays eating peanuts from my
fence rail last week - within an hour of each other. Now all I need is a
Blue Jay to show up!

Good Birding
