This is a Canada Jay. I always knew them as Whiskey Jacks and having met them I think the name suited. but it turns out that was never their official name. They were originally Canada Jays then they became Gray Jays (with the American spelling of grey, no less) And now apparently they are back to being officially Canada Jays, which is better than Grey Jays considering that they're mostly brown and white, But look at that twinkle in his eye he's a Whiskey Jack through and through.

Old Crow (Eagle Plains), August 1st 2023. Wildfires all around. As a visitor I was graced with the presence of one who lives there. Pretty sure this is a Canadian Jay, right? #motorcycle #yukon #eagleplains #canada #whiskeyjack #bird
