Tonight I had one of the most glorious birding moments of my life. A decade ago I first saw pinyon jays in the Colorado mountains. Ever since I've looked for them in the mountains around Santa Fe on my frequent visits there. I can usually find them, but it takes time and I see just a few.
After massive commercial deforestation and climate-change driven destruction of the pinyon forests they rely on, their numbers are plummeting and they are being considered for the endangered species list. 1/2
