Index of Subjects Hi Fritz; There were large flocks of at least 100 blue jays flying by on Brier Island a couple of weeks ago. At Prospect, on Blake Maybank's field trip last weekend, we saw three or four groups of Blue Jays passing overhead numbering from 40 - 80 individuals. At Peggy's Cove, last Thursday, there was a large flock of at least 100 Blue Jays landing in some trees then taking off again, It seems to be a great year for migrating Blue Jays!
