. c. canadensis subspecies then it could have b Point taken, but they used to be a not uncommon backyard bird in the winter, and they sure are now down this way. I suspect a look at Christmas Bird counts from Yarmouth would show quite a drop over the past three or so decades. -----Original Message----- From: naturens-owner@chebucto.ns.ca [mailto:naturens-owner@chebucto.ns.ca] On Behalf Of Laviolette, Lance Sent: November 18, 2016 11:41 AM To: naturens@chebucto.ns.ca Subject: RE: [NatureNS] Re: Choice For Our 'National Bird' ...The Gray Jay 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.

Didn't use to be that way! -----Original Message----- From: naturens-owner@chebucto.ns.ca [mailto:naturens-owner@chebucto.ns.ca] On Behalf Of Doug Linzey Sent: November 18, 2016 2:51 AM To: naturens@chebucto.ns.ca Subject: Re: [NatureNS] Re: Choice For Our 'National Bird' ...The Gray Jay I agree with Gayle. It's great to see the Camp Robber nominated for this honoured 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.
