That present there does no seem to be any scarcity of Blue Jays on my farm
in Franklin County. While out in the woods over the past 2 weeks, I have
seen quite a few.

Since the end of Blue Jay migration last month, I have seen VERY FEW Blue
Jays in Kentucky. I suppose that this may end up being one of those rare
years when most all of the birds go farther south. They are around, but
I've run across no sizable flocks in the vicinity of Louisville, Bernheim
Forest, and Peabody WMA, and am rarely seeing them pass over the road when
traveling (something that, of course, is normally quite common this time of
year). I suspect the well-documented scarcity of mast that will be affecting
other wildlife through the winter may be responsible, but I'm not sure.
We will be able to look at Christmas Bird Count numbers for some
documentation of this event, but if everyone tries to pay particular
attention to this aspect of your winter birding, it might yield some very
interesting information on how scarce they end up being.
