Pinyon Jays in uncommon places?

[Diana Beatty]

I have noticed a lot of reports the past few weeks of Pinyon Jays outside of their usual habitat along the Front Range.  It would be interesting to hear from people here who have observed that as well as any thoughts on reasons....

Mountain Chickadees are also showing up a bit lower lately it seems, although that is not quite as unusual....

What do you think?

All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost; the old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost.

Hmmm, And I’ve had several visits from what I called a Woodhouse jay in Littleton and I’ve not seen them here before.

I had a flock of 6 Pinyon Jays flying east from Empire last week. But a Blue Jay and a Woodhouse’s Scrub Jay in Empire Sunday, and a Scrub Jay at my feeder near Standley Lake in Arvada on 9/24. These definitely are unusual sightings.

20 - 30 Pinyon Jays in Chaffee County this past weekend, NE of BV.  Not sure if that counts as unusual for the bird.
