Stopped by Oak Point Park/Nature Preserve in Plano (Collin County) yesterday after a Dr. apt. in Dallas. Had 2 American Crows and at least 3 Blue Jays despite the mega West Nile outbreak in the area.

We're in Allandale and have lost one ten strong scold of Jays and are in the process of losing the one which moved in after the old family group collapsed. It's really sad. I love Jays: http://www.seanpaulkelley.com/?p=1345 On a different note: I heard a raven flying overhead late last week, but it was only a short overflight. Never heard it again.
