Sorry, Steller’s Jay. Spell check, ugggh! 

Just went outside, between rain bands, to refill platform feeder & heard a familiar call. Looked over at juniper trees & a very vocal Stellar’s Jay was working through the trees. Only the second time I’ve seen one at our river location. 

 

Yesterday, the best bird was a 1st winter White-throated Sparrow. Lots of Trumpeter Swans flying over, as well. Kept track yesterday & counted 216.
