Bird Brain Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 (edited) I agree with @urban snipe Gray Jay, aka camp robber Jay. Saw my very 1st one in Wyo also, just the other day (about 40 some-odd years ago!) Edited September 29, 2019 by Bird Brain 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bird Nuts Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 The AOS changed the name to Canada Jay last year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Spencer Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 I recall hearing about a campain to change the name and to make it Canada's national bird. There's dissatisfaction with the loon on the coins; loons leave in the winter but the jays are there year round.

egosnell2002 Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Yep, I believe the name change was to make it a more desirable choice as national bird, since we don't currently have one. Be ready when the AOS splits them in a few years though, this one's name might be Rocky Mountain (the subspecies of Canada Jay) Jay. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
