Hi Christi, Thanks for being such a gracious host! I will have to bring you some sunflower seeds or corn next time I am down!! Oh, Alan Barron e-mailed me from Crescent City, sounds like he may come up today. Wish I was closer to Brookings, it is such a pretty area. By the way, I keep track of bird sightings for Coos and Curry Counties and write-up a yearly bird notes column for Oregon Birds magazine. Anyhow, it is nice to have an arrival and departure date for rarities like your Blue Jay. Meanwhile- have a great Thanksgiving!!

It is feeding on the ground on corn and black sunflower seed. There is ample parking on the Del Norte side, so please feel free to park and visit the neighborhood.
