Bird Brain 793 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Charlie Spencer 2,285 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

egosnell2002 185 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
