Hello all, I also went after the Gray Jay last evening, but with no success. I spent about an hour in the pine and spruce grove just off US 10 at the entrance to Buffalo River State Park. I found Pine Siskins (10, FOY), Golden-crowned Kinglets (14), a Red-breasted Nuthatch, one Brown Creeper (FOY), two Great Horned Owls, seven Hooded Mergansers along the river, and an adult Sharp-shinned Hawk. This is a really neat little grove - plenty of pine, spruce and northern white cedar. Ought to be a good place to find a wandering Gray Jay or Townsend's Solitaire.
Good Birding!
