Hi Linda:
=20
I would be happy to take you around to the areas that I know your target sp=
ecies are if time allows when you get here=2C if you do decide to check aro=
und this area. Your best bet for Gray Jays is Rose Head and Gaff Point at =
Kingsburg. Other areas they are sort've hit and miss. Heckman's Island is=
another spot where they can be found every year. I've recently been told =
of a location where the gray jays are regulars to a feeder=2C so I can get =
that information and permission to visit the property for you I'm sure. As=
for boreal chickadees there are a lot of locations in the area for them. =
I do not know of any coming to feeders at the moment. Locations where high=
populations exist are Crescent Beach=2C Kingsburg=2C Blue Rocks=2C Heckman=
's Island and a number of other locations. That will likely be the easiest=
one to find for you. As per yellow-bellied sapsuckers Keji Park is your b=
est bet. Other woodpeckers=2C I have tons of people who have them visiting=
feeders=2C so they should be simple. I just need to know in advance to ge=
t permission from those that have these birds as regulars. =20

Sincerely=2C
