Canada jays a rare marvel in Maine

MAINE SUNDAY TELEGRAM • February 18, 2024

Maine is home, at least seasonally, to more than 300 species of birds. Of that total, slightly more than 200 nest here. Being an avid birder and field trip leader most of my adult life, I’m often asked to name my favorite birds. If I had a list, Canada jays would be in the top five. There isn’t another Maine bird more charming. ~ Ron Joseph
