I'm fascinated. The nearest reliable Scrub Jays to Dave and Kathy's yard are at 
Norway I would imagine, several miles upstream from Coquille. When  I was doing 
the Coquille Valley CBC with Romain Cooper and Christy Dunn about three years 
ago the last species of the day, and best bird of the day for us, was Scrub Jay 
at Cedar Point, at least five miles north of Norway. I've had eight Scrub Jay 
detections at my house in the Coast Range nw of Banks (Washington Co) over 21 
years and seven of those were in September.   Lars
