I'm vague on details, but I understand that jackdaws became locally 
established in the Quebec City area a few years back (probably came
over on ships), and that there was at that time a concerted effort to
extirpate them so that they wouldn't become established in N.A. 
The bird in CT, and a recent (2 years ago?) sighting in Toronto
suggest that that effort may have failed.  

Anyone know more about this?
