The Gray Jay at Lake Tahoe

On August 17, 1923, my wife and myself while studying birds at Glenbrook, Nevada, on the eastern shore of Lake Tahoe, had an excellent view of a Gray Jay (Perisoreus obscurus griseus). We were on an elevated point some three hundred feet above the Lake, or at about 6500 feet above sea-level. The jay was perched on top of a large pine tree and we observed him there at rest for more than ten minutes.
