This is the gray jay that would go on walks with me last summer. I just learned today through the National Wildlife Federation that these lovely birds are being affected by global warming. Already 60% of their territories have been reduced. READ ALL ABOUT GRAY JAYS HERE It's an interesting article all about their habitat, when they have babies, what they like and don't like. I didn't know these birds choose a mate for life. They don't migrate. They stay in one area year round. 
The birds come when I whistle - I fed with my left hand and took the photo with my right hand!
This was late November
I have a handful of gray jays that will come to me for food. They're around even when it's snowing! I don't know how they survive the 30 to 40 below zero temps, but they do.
