After a long search we found the area they were
frequenting in Maple Ridge, and it was where the food supply was -
see next photo. |

The jays were gleaning hazelnuts (top left
corner) from this tree in a garden. We watched them carry off
hazelnuts to consume. At first we thought they were eating acorns,
but when we couldn't find the oak tree, we discovered them going
into this tree. 19 September 2018. |

Our first sightings of them in
early morning were in fog, which soon burned off. |
