Gray Jays are still around, though not in the numbers I once saw. I've had a pair frequenting the homestead this winter.

A pair that noticed me fueling during a ski. They took turns taking chunks of sourdough cornmeal waffle with peanut butter and jam from my hands, flying off to stash it in a tree and coming back for more. Cheeky.

"I'll have to try that next time...."

pk....when trying that, just make sure not to bite Solus' hand to get a chunk of waffle!!! 

Solus - pro tip - use bigger chunks of waffle for pine knot. And he likes grape raspberry jam.

This POD was taken on June 26, 2009 from an island in Quetico looking south across the border into Friday Bay of Crooked Lake.  Amazing to see big water like this so calm....in fact, it was the calm before the storms, as it began to rain the next morning and continued almost non-stop for the next 4 1/2 days as we made our way to Argo and then Brent.  The sun finally came out when we reached eastern Brent, and by the time we made it to North Bay of Basswood the fishing went bonkers for two straight days....   

The most panic stricken two hours of my life occurred on Bayley Bay one late day in May.
I think the other three friends I was traveling with would agree.
