Not the case back in the '60's or '70's. All things considered, that looks consistent. From: naturens-owner@chebucto.ns.ca [mailto:naturens-owner@chebucto.ns.ca] On Behalf Of Blake Maybank Sent: October-20-11 1:23 PM To: naturens@chebucto.ns.ca; NATURENB@LISTSERV.UNB.CA Subject: [NatureNS] Gray Jays and Winter Caching 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. http://tinyurl.com/6xymysl 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.
