Hello NatureNB and NatureNS;

I have heard observers bemoan the apparent reduction in the number of 
Gray Jays across the Maritimes, though a quick glance at the atlas 
data doesn't confirm or refute this.  Regardless, the following 
article (based on research at Algonquin National Park) is interesting.

Nova Scotia has the Gray Jay's southern-most sea-level breeding 
range, and if climate change affects our region's forests (which it 
must) then it follows that the Gray Jay will be impacted as 
well.   This article links the Gray Jay's success to the presence of spruce.

Food for thought.

Cheers,
