Canada Jays are frequently seen in Strathcona Provincial Park, particularly in the Paradise Meadows area. This park provides suitable habitat for these birds. They are known for their tendency to interact with humans.
We encounter two Canada Cays during our rest stop at Battleship Lake. They follow us through the forest until just before Helen Mackenzie Lake. Upon seeing the combination of bands on their legs, we realize this is a different bird.
