I'm not trying to start trouble but I agree with John, you're much more lik=

really run into them very frequently anywhere compared to the eastern half =
of the province. I'm sure some of it is habitat related but I wonder if it'=

population on Cape Breton will be similar to the population in SW Nova now =
and the Gray Jays in the Southwest counties will become almost non-existant=

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
