Pinyon Jays in Bent County

[Duane Nelson]

Birders,

I just had two calling Pinyon Jays fly through, and briefly land, in my
yard in Las Animas, Bent County CO. This is only the second time I've
had them in my yard, or in the lower Arkansas River Valley, and may
signal an irruption away from their normal habitat in the canyon country
farther to the south and west. Be on the lookout for this very rare
visitor.
