First off, forget the loon. Not the 'loonie'. The bird. And the ever popular goose. Now the nation has a new national bird. Yep, unbelievable as it seems, Canada has adopted a new bird to represent the entire country.

Introducing the gray/grey jay. (Nobody has mentioned how first nations people feel about this however)

Thank you for that fascinating educational post, *** !

Interesting reading and ironic that one burning journal member in Canuckistan should hear 

about it first on a Murican based website hosted by a Canuckistan based server from a 

Murican member. And, let's not forget the haunting call of Uke's winged cousin up north.

I got the Stellar Jays around my place. Think the Stellar Jays should be your prototypical
"Blue Jay" because of all the "blue" that bird has with the feathers. The Jays are always
fun to watch and they are birds with blue feathers.

jays are nice. The grey jay being related to crows and the like, they say. 

Their intelligence level is up there with dolphins and monkeys.

I've watched these gangsters in the middle of winter gang up in threes

to taunt a dog  tu the end of his rope on the deck while another works

the food bowl and their lookout is sitting up on the phone wire. You could tell before a car 

would come around the corner by his fly by calling the warning.
