After viewing the Bald Eagles perched, flying or soaring above the Bighorn Sheep Canyon yesterday, I birded in Howard, CO, a small, spread-out town that spans the Arkansas River about an hour's drive west of Canon City. I found a flock of 75+ wandering Pinyon Jays.
These nomads flew as a fairly tight flock from tree to tree, once at a distance of about a half mile. I feel very lucky to find these as this is the second flock of Pinyon Jays I have found this week, the other flock just east of Canon City (I need to get pics of those posted). This species is of significant conservation concern due to habitat loss. SeEtta
