I took paleontology in 1977, never used it. I thought they went extinct in the Permian die off, but while collecting Jurassic ammonites in France we found many beaches also. 2 weeks ago we found a nice beach site near Mimbres NM.

We've lived in this house 7 years and had never seen a Stellar jay. But about a month ago one showed up, irritating the Woodhouse scrub jays that are abundant here. Now we have a pair of Stellars that are here most days. These are the first pics I've been able to get, they are very skittish.
