Hi there,

A few of you have met my daughter Emily, who is 8 years old and quite an
avid birder. When a California Scrub-Jay turned up in our yard last
Saturday 10/7, she immediately asked me to "Post it on Tweeters!" So here
you go, Emily! Definitely a first yard bird for us, although we had been
keeping our eyes peeled since reading reports of Scrub-jays turning up in
nearby communities. We live right along the line between Bothell and
Kirkland.
