Haven't seen them in these parts before, so just wanted to confirm the ID.
Spotted two of them deep in the woods yesterday, about eight miles north of the Columbia, between Table and Hamilton Mtns...
Best pose this guy struck.
Gray Jay?

Karl - I am not an expert but it sure looks like one to me. Further north, in BC, they call them Whiskey Jacks!
Some people are really fit at eighty; thankfully I still have many years to get into shape…

It is a Gray Jay. One of my favorite camp robbers.

No! Hence the confusion, I suppose. They were actually quite camera-shy!texasbb wrote:Did it try to steal your food?
Nice. First (reported) sighting on WA side of river between Camas and Dog Mtn, according to that dynamic map.Waffle Stomper wrote:It is a Gray Jay. One of my favorite camp robbers.
