Is it true that if you found this birds nest you would find some small treasures like a gold ring and other shiny objects worth a small fortune, this is what I was told ? I know that they resemble and look somewhat like a Blue Jay.....

I don't know but I could believe it. They are naturally very tame and do not seem to fear people that much. We see them at the hunt camp and they land on the deer hanging in the trees just feet away from us to snatch a piece of fat off of the carcass.

Hi spent. I am an ornithologist and no you would not find any treasure in a Gray Jay nest.

To find a Gray Jay nest you would have to start looking in February. They and the Great Horned Owl are the earliest nesters in Canada.

Buckstopper.
Thank you very much for your response and for clarifying that anyone would not find a treasure in the Wiskey Jacks nest if they found one, because of their time of nesting.
The saying was that if the bird seen an ear-ring or a shiny object such as a ring or what you mentioned a piece of foil they would take it to their nest.

So ladies if you feel like taking off anything such as your jewlery in the wilds and put on the picnic table do not be afraid no "Wiskey Jack Bird" wants it.

But please leave your clothe's on because thats a differrent subject....

had one fly in and steal my spachula from my frying pan - after cooking bacon of course - gone with it and never to be seen again.

Some hunter will probably come across it in the middle of nowhere and wonder where the heck it came from.
