Article says
- Their breeding habitat is forested areas containing conifers across Canada, Alaska and coastal and montane parts of the western United States.
"Forested areas containing conifers" certainly describes many areas in New York and New England, and the "Canada jays" are well known to hikers in the White Mountains (New Hampshire), where can be seen waiting for handouts, esp'ly at elevations above 3000 feet, and especially at trail junctions and summits.
- "gray jays" "new england"
gets "199 of about 355" hits on Google, and with a much narrower geographic area
- "gray jays" "white mountains"
"86 of about 185". I'm adding a nonspecific reference to these two areas, without thorough research that presumably would justify more specific language.

Migration: Gray Jays don't have a specific migrating period, although they do tend to go downhill in the winter. -MB
[edit] Gray Jays
Do you find it interesting how Gray Jays only live with their parents for up to 4 weeks and then can survive on their own? And also, how they mate with the same bird forever?
