The Pinyon Jay

Here in Central Oregon, for over 10 years, ECBA volunteer Kevin Smith has invested his time and inspired others to report sitings of Pinyon Jays, and over the last 5 years Ken Hashagen, together with Kevin, have helped provide banding data to ODFW and the USGS Birding Lab. Now ECBA volunteers and the USFWS have an exciting opportunity to work together to study these birds in a brand new way! Photo courtesy of Abbott Schindler
