Regarding Scrub Jay sightings. I looked out around 7:00 am into my western Centennial backyard and saw a jay on top of a shepherd's crook. I assumed it was a Woodhouse's because of CoBirds posts. However, I just saw some images on the CFO Facebook page of Pinyon Jays, and I think my bird looked more like one of them. My bird had no white, black, or grey on its back. It was a brilliant blue. Is it possible it could have been a Pinyon? Or would that be rather rare to see one around here? Rosanne Juergens Near Arpahoe and Broadway Centennial, CO
