[Dennis Paulson]

Canada Jay has been seen at Discovery Park, but I don’t know if there is more than one record.

West Point in particular seems to attract corvids, with Steller’s Jays often massing there, Scrub-Jays occasionally joining them, and a Black-billed Magpie in 2013.

I know that’s also true of Neah Bay. Is there anywhere else in the state where all of the regular corvids have been found?
