My request to you good people:
I'm still working on a longer term project re: Blue Jay movement into the
Pacific Northwest and the identification of the ssp. involved, therefore
potentially more accurately pinpointing their origin. If you find a Blue
Jay, please try to take some photos, especially of the birds upperparts as
possible... and forward them on to me with information regarding the
specifics (place, date, other birds accompanying). It would be greatly
appreciated.

Additionally, if you find out of area Steller's Jays, the same would be a
great favor to me. Even if you are in an area where Steller's Jays are
"normal," but not increased numbers, I would definitely be interested. With
these birds photos that give a clear view of the head are especially
valuable for subspecies identification.
