West Nile Virus has depleted our Blue Jay population by a great deal. This was the first one I seen in a couple of years.

So far plenty of them here in Massachusetts Kmccueo7. I love to see the flash of blue coming to my feeder.

How terrible! I haven't noticed any effects on our population here either. Hopefully they can make a come back in your area.

My mother used to have anywhere from 15 to 20 Blue Jays at her feeder after WNV hit its hardest she had only3 or 4 showing up. That was about 5 years ago. The numbers are gradually increasing but WNV is still in the area so only the strongest survive at this time.

Wow, I didn't know that KMC. That is a shame. I hope they bounce back soon.
