After your explanation I can see how the species is very susceptible to a a succession of warmer, wetter winters. As you say David, let's hope the species is doing better in the far north. It is certainly a very lovely bird but one that doesn't immediately bring the Jay family into mind.

The head looks like a tit and it has the body of your blue jay.<br />Why doesn't he move his nesting period ? His behavior doesn't change ? In France, tit have this problem with butterfly caterpillars, because birds nest when temperatures rise but caterpillars have not yet arrived. <br />The tit can be easily adjusted with the available food. <br />Sorry David, but I don't believe in the Canadian government.... Biodiversity is not important to him...<br />Bye my friend and thank you very much for this new species for me and all yours informations !<br />Nathailes SANTA MARIAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14452756545820555931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1519151644964316600.post-32907930286461302532018-03-27T08:43:18.231-04:002018-03-27T08:43:18.231-04:00Lovely photos David but isn't it frustrating t...Lovely photos David but isn't it frustrating to say the least to watch what some of those in charge do to our countries, it's all about money for them and they don't think of the wider consequences!

Fortunately for me, its range in the west of North America spreads much more southward than it does over on your side of the continent. Grey Jay was one of the highlights of my visit to Colorado in 2008.<br /><br />With love to you both - - - RichardRichard Peglerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05115206853645323899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1519151644964316600.post-36500487459158632182018-03-27T04:23:16.752-04:002018-03-27T04:23:16.752-04:00So pretty, little bird.

Det händer hela tiden, överallt på vår planet, artutrotningen är skrämmande. Jag har läst några böcker av den kanadensiska författarinnan Naomi Klein så jag är medveten om vilka strider som pågår omkring dessa pipelines som dras över urinvånarnas land.<br /><br />Även om här finns en medvetenhet om klimatförändringar så har vi också vår beskärda del av de som förnekar klimathotet. Problemet är att våra förtroendevalda gör en massa saker som jag brukar kalla "as if" som om man verkligen tar detta på allvar - ofta är det bara skenåtgärder. För ingen säger det som måste sägas, att vår överkonsumtion skadar vår planet.
