It's hard to know how to feel overall when you find that your Scrub Jay review finds no evidence of Scrub Jays. Of course, if there had been evidence of Scrub Jay activity it would have been next to impossible for us to build on our property. We did have indicators that we would not have a problem building on the lot before we bought it but to hear it officially gives us the real green light. I spoke to my neighbor who has lived in her home since the 60's and she said the area was teaming with Scrub Jays at one time. Quail were also everywhere. All I can say is that we are keeping all the scrub habitat that exists on the property intact. The area where we build is mostly cleared with a few non-native trees we'd need to get rid of anyway.
