Re: [Maine-birds] Migrating Blue Jays?
When I was an active bander I banded a Blue Jay in Sorrento (Maine) that hit a window in Foxboro, Mass 48 hours later.

Yes quite often over the years. Noticeable not necessarily because of the size of flocks but because of the behavior, direct flights above treetops which implies migration. I've often wondered if they migrate at night as well.

I've been noticing the same thing over the past few weeks. And, we've had the biggest invasion of White-throated Sparrows in our yard that I've ever seen. It started several weeks ago and ebbed and flowed. I never made an accurate count, but I estimate about 15 individuals in the yard on multiple occasions. And then they abruptly disappeared a few days ago. Haven't seen any since.
