COBirders-- This morning (10/4/20) I was standing on my cabin deck in the Sangre De Cristo range (9,200 ft.) and was elated when a Canada Jay lit on one of my fenceposts. Unfortunately, it continued to go from post to post downhill until it disappeared with no photo taken. It is the second Canada Jay I've seen at this location, or in Southern Colorado, the first being over 40 years ago. This species is listed as "uncommon" on our Arkansas Valley Audubon's Wet Mountain Valley checklist, which may be too generous.
For you newer COBirders, the name "Canada Jay" was changed many years to "Gray Jay", then recently was changed back again to Canada Jay. In Colorado they are usually found at high elevations.
