Blue jay fro BFCS

["Doug Holly" <>]

For the last sixty plus years I have known that when local people ( South
Australians) speak of Blue Jays, they are referring to BFCS and Blue Cranes
are White-faced Herons.
The Blue comes from the slatey blue/grey colour of these birds.
These days it is very common to hear local SA Riverland people refer to
White-winged Choughs as Jays.
