Florida Scrub Jay @Oscar Scherer

This bird has been on my bucket list for along time and we finally managed to capture one at Oscar Scherer State Park in Venice, FL.

 

This species is only found in Florida and has been on the endangered list since the 1990's. It's habitat is slowing disappearing. Oscar Scherer has recently had a controlled burn and this is good for their habitat. They nest low to the ground in oak scrub. This was a rather happy bird with a full mouth!
