Many pairs are common in summer on the west side of town, where a valley can typically be 10 degrees warmer than the official PT temperature. In winter, when that valley can be 10 degrees colder, they are closer to the waterfront on the east side of town. These locations are only a half-mile apart. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large;color:#073763"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large;color:#073763"><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Mar 11, 2024 at 12:17 PM Philip Dickinson <<a href="mailto:pdickins@gmail.com">pdickins@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">We see them all winter in Marysville/Everett area but they are more active in the fall acorn season<br>

We haven’t seen any since last Fall, but these two seemed to know just where to expect some raw peanuts so may be some of our past visitors. They clearly enjoyed the peanuts. I didn’t think these jays migrated, but since we’ve not seen any for a few months so I am wondering where they spent the time they have not been around. Have not seen any Stellar’s Jays back yet.<br>
