Heard a sound that I hadn’t noted for a long while. Looked out in time to get binocs on a Western Scrub Jay at the feeder. Had to convince myself what I was seeing & get all the field marks. Visited the sunflower seeds twice before exiting into the river bottoms. Looked it up in my ID Bird Distribution &, sure enough, transient for my latilong. Will keep eyes & ears open to see if any others appear. Think weather to our south may have shifted this one north, a bit.
