RE: [Maine-birds] Migrating Blue Jays?

My goodness, yes. I've seen 30+ doing the same thing multiple times over the last week. By my observation, a lot of blue jays left the state this winter, and they're wicked late flocking back in. Apparently, chickadees are doing it, too.

Subject: [Maine-birds] Migrating Blue Jays?

 

Hi all - At Schoodic Point today I observed a cohesive band of northward-flying Blue Jays, around 27 of them. They stuck together, seemed intent on moving on, and briefly alit in some conifers.

 

Anyone else seen Blue Jay movements like this? If so, I'd appreciate a share.
