Well, I guess Pinyon Jays aren't too unusual in Custer County above 9000 feet and other places in Colorado. I think more interesting is the habitat and trees at my cabin are a bit unusual for them, since there are mostly Aspens, Spruce, and a few Ponderosa Pines. There are no Pinon Pines or Pinon Juniper around there, like there is in the Rosita area, where Pinyon Jays are fairly easy to find. Of course, after the breeding season, Pinyon Jays wander where ever to find food, so it is possible to see them anywhere. I still remember seeing 100 or so Pinyon Jays flying down the Cimarron River in Morton County, Kansas, one September. While up at the cabin is past week, I didn't see or hear any Pinyon Jays, so just a one time visit to the cabin so far.
