Answer: Papa could expect to see about 126 blue jays.

First, we need to determine the percent of blue jays that he typically sees.

59 + 68 + 12 + 1 = 140  He saw a total of 140 birds.

59 of them were blue jays. So 59 / 140 = 42% of the birds were blue jays.

Multiply 300 by 42% and we have an expected number of 126 blue jays.
