Canada jay

We get species that will change.

Now, we have things like the Canada Jay that is in northern Minnesota that probably will get pushed out and be pushed further north as our climate changes also.

And then not only do the birds going to change, but the other things that are going to change are the plants.

and particularly trees are going to change and we're going to get southern species of trees who couldn't make it in minnesota before are going to be able to make it like sycamore is going to be a good example that it's going to be a species that doesn't occur here now but it will in the future i have a pair of eastern red buds this is a species that um jet it's an understory tree that blooms these gorgeous pink flowers in the springtime and it is uh i planted three of them And they are just booming and doing so darn good.

This is the bird that Thomas Jefferson wrote to Wilson about, greatly exciting the latter's curiosity.

Wilson was just then upon the threshold of his career as an ornithologist, and had made a drawing of the Canada Jay, which he sent to the President.

It was a new bird, and in reply, Jefferson called his attention to a curious bird which was everywhere to be heard, but scarcely ever to be seen.

he had for twenty years interested the young sportsmen of his neighborhood to shoot one for him but without success it is in all the forests from spring to fall he says in his letter and never but on the tops of the tallest trees from which it perpetually serenades us with some of the sweetest notes and as clear as those of the nightingale i have followed it for miles without ever but once getting a good view of it it is of the size and make of the mocking-bird lightly thrush coloured on the back and a greyish white on the breast and belly mr randolph my son-in-law was in possession of one which had been shot by a neighbour c randolph pronounced it a fly-catcher which was a good way wide of the mark jefferson must have seen only the female after all his tramp from his description of the colour but he was doubtless following his own great thoughts more than the bird else he would have had an earlier view the bird was not a new one but was well known then as the ground robin the president put wilson on the wrong scent by his erroneous description and it was a long time before the latter got at the truth of the case But Jefferson's letter is a good sample of those which specialists often receive from intelligent persons who have seen or heard something in their line very curious or entirely new and who set the man of science agog by a description of the supposed novelty.

Um, oh gosh, like, um, think of like another good one would be eastern and western purple finch with Cassin's finch in the mix.

Um- Oh, I, I, just, just yesterday I saw some beautiful, um, uh, interior west, uh, Canada Jays.

Like, if you're familiar with Canada Jays in like the Adirondacks or Seattle, and you see [chuckles] a Colorado Canada Jay, you're like, "What weird chickadee is this?" Like, they look so different-

Yeah

... [chuckles] from, from like other Canada Jays.

So I think that that three-part split, you know, again, with the, that kind of vast eastern and northern zone, the interior west and then the Pacific...

Oh, sapsuckers.
