AUTHENTIC RECORDS for Steller's Jay Cyanocitta stelleri from areas where the species is definitely out of its usual range are surprisingly rare in Alberta.Apparently it is a scarce probable resident in the mountains in the Jasper region and becomes more plentiful farther south through the Banff and Waterton regions.Among the few unquestionable records east of the mountains and foothills the following are of interest.A. D. Henderson, the veteran oologist of Belvedere, told me that he received a specimen from an Indian who shot it across the Athabaska River in the Fort Assiniboine region.T. Randall, another veteran oologist in Alberta, informs me that he has seen the bird in the Porcupine Hills of Southern AlIberta.Robert Lister of the University of Alberta Zoology Department has a record of a bird seen three years ago in the garden of Dr. Hocking's residence in south Edmonton.E. T. Jones (Notes) reports seeing.a Steller's Jay in the Whitecourt
