I've seen Gray Jays in quite a few Yarmouth County locations in the last fe=
w years (at least 7). My uncle Ellis recently had some right behind his hou=
se in West Pubnico, a place where they are quite rare. I even had 2 Gray Ja=
ys on Big Tusket Island (south of Comeaus Hill) this summer, and a family a=
t Brier Island (where they are quite uncommon).

Hi John,
Not necessarily more likely, though it depends how far from Yarmouth you're=
willing to trek. Canada Jays, yes I'm onboard with retrieving a 'national'=
name for a 'national' bird, are regularly seen on Digby neck.
All the best,
Lance

And you're certainly more likely to see one up Cape Breton way than down th=
e Yarmouth end of the province.
Didn't use to be that way!

I agree with Gayle. It's great to see the Camp Robber nominated for this ho=
noured position to join the beaver, another critter that is resourceful and=
sometimes annoying to humans.
My suggestion to folks who don't know the Gray Jay -- take a picnic to the =
woods more often. The last one I saw, by the way, was on the Benjie's Lake =
trail (Cape Breton Highlands NP) in October.
Cheers,
Doug
