Agreed, Gayle,
Perisoreus canadensis, M=E9sangeai du Canada, Canada Jay, or its Algonki=
n name of 'wis-akajak' is a great choice for our national bird, but let's r=
esist calling it what the AMERICAN Ornithologists' Union changed its name t=
o. They not only stole our name of Canada Jay and hid it, but to add insul=
t to injury, they used the US mis-spelling of "grey"!

Subject: [NatureNS] Re: Choice For Our 'National Bird' ...The Gray Jay
Hello All,
I have been following this for some time.
I think this is a great choice!
My understanding is that the Gray Jay, also know as the 'Meat Jay', 'Whiske=
y Jack'....and probably more names, is found in every province of Canada.
Though not known by many...because they are not urban dwellers, & this coul=
d be behind, the backlash to the Canadian Geographic's choice...., they are=
known, to be 'friendly, hardy, and very savvy, to get what they are after!=
! ...'
How much more Canadian, is that? [:-)]
And, the Gray Jay, is not, one of the listed species on the list, that was =
already, a Provincial bird in some province.
I certainly support this choice!
