Blue jays occur across southern Canada from Alberta east to Quebec and the Atlantic provinces.
An unusual blue bird was sighted in Whitehorse this month. It was not captured on film but the observer thinks it was a Blue Jay or a Steller's Jay. A Steller's Jay was reported to eBird in Haines Junction, Yukon Territory, just two days later.
This is one of just a small number of Blue Jay sightings recorded on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada.
The Cascadia Bioregion, including Montana, Idaho, Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia, is outside of the historical range of the Blue Jay (Cyanocitta cristata), but they have been increasingly sighted in the region since the first one was sighted in Montana in 1958.
