I was out this morning watching a Cooper's Hawk in my Deodar Cedars
and hunting over Broadway when a saw a Western Scrub Jay with an acorn
in his bill. He flew up onto the top of a low spruce on 200 block 10th
Ave E and eventually turned before flying off to the south east giving
a nice view of his back. Initially I wondered if it was Blue Jay or
other stray but he had the brown back.

A bit late for Western Scrub Jays at the northern end of their range I
would have thought. Has the year-around range now extended to Seattle?
