I agree with Gayle. It's great to see the Camp Robber nominated for this 
honoured position to join the beaver, another critter that is 
resourceful and sometimes annoying to humans.

My suggestion to folks who don't know the Gray Jay -- take a picnic to 
the woods more often. The last one I saw, by the way, was on the 
Benjie's Lake trail (Cape Breton Highlands NP) in October.

Cheers,
Doug
