I figured I'd pass on a little on information from the North Dakota birding listserve. Earlier there has been a noted migration of Gray Jays along the North Shore, and in the past week, several Gray Jays have turned up in northeastern North Dakota. There have been 6 reports of Gray Jays in Grand Forks County ND this fall, some right along the Red River and in Grand Forks itself. As of yet, I don't think any have been found on the Minnesota side of the river in Grand Forks. Also, last night Bob O'Connor of Moorhead received a call from a homeowner living about 2 miles west of Buffalo River State Park in Clay County, MN, saying a Gray Jay had visited her feeder. If confirmed, I believe this will be a 2nd Clay County record. If you're in northwestern Minnesota this fall, keep an eye open for wandering Gray Jays! It seems this could be a good year for them.
Ben Fritchman P.S. If anyone sees(or doesn't see) the Blue Earth Co.
