Are the Blue Jays becoming extinct on Long Island NY?

Click for more information about Blue Jay species of birdsMrs. Kane writes,
"Since last winter I noticed that the Blue Jays (birds) are gone from my backyard. I use to see quite a few eating in the bird feeder in my yard, but I am very concern that I haven't seen any this summer. To make matters worse, my friend that lives in Rocky Point was visiting last week and he also asked me if I have notice that the Blue Jays are gone. I live in Huntington Station. Please let me know what's going on or if you know who can I contact about this."

Thank you very much,
A very concern citizen

Answer:
Try contacting the folks at these Audubon Societies,
they may be able to shed some light on the situation...

I've seen a family on blue-jays in Bayport! They come to my feeders.
Do you have cats that lurk around your property? The birds know that they are there and won't come near! Good luck on your bird watching!

I've been making comments to everyone on Staten Island concerning the fact that I haven't seen any blue jays. It is depressing.

We live in Merrick. A couple of months ago I noticed several “Absolutely Beautiful” blue and white Birds in my back yard. I came down to my computer and looked up what these lovely birds are. They are a family of Blue Jays. I now look for and see them everyday.
