Out of reactions, but wow, nice shot! I have yet to see a male, or "Gray Ghost"

A hard sought after lifer for me! My third visit to this spot, and I walked the trail in its entirety three times today. After three visits, I've completed the (realistic) VT Boreal Forest Checklist of birds, with Black-backed Woodpecker and Boreal Chickadee on the first visit, Spruce Grouse and Black-backed on the second, and now the CANADA JAY!!!

Yay!    They're like big, balding chickadees! ?  We still don't have Boreal Chickadee.  But Moose Bog is almost as far as Boston is from here.

You might have more luck climbing a nearby mountain to get a Boreal Chickadee. They’re irrupting this year! I tried for one at Spruce Mountain, where a Black-backed Woodpecker had been heard by a birding friend, who had also gotten Boreal Chickadee a month beforehand. And yeah, two hours is the longest drive I’ve done yet  to look for a bird, any farther and it would have to be a pretty rare bird ?

They really are! They were bigger than I imagined, and very friendly and sluggish.  They reminded me of parrots!

This is my best photo of the day, not because of the quality, but because we have heard these sweet little things for months, and knew they were there, but I could never get a photo until today.
