Detalles de la observación

Irruption year for this species (and others such as Evening Grosbeaks). We went there specifically to see these wonderful jays, they are normally very rare in Tx. A large flock (160+) of Pinyon Jays has been at this area since about Dec 7, 2022. Unfortuntely we did not get the hoped for close-up views that some observers have had, but still feel lucky that we got to see them. After waiting for a couple hours, the flock flew past us about 0.3-0.4 miles away; we heard them coming before we saw the flock.
