Canada Jay
After weeks of debating on whether I should make the trip or not, I ventured to the High Peaks region of the Adirondacks in Mid January. Once there, my goal was simple, photograph a Canada Jay. This hardy bird primarily calls the Northern boreal forests home, but can be found in a select few locations within the lower 48. These locations are similar in makeup to those of the Northern forests, consisting primarily of conifers such as black or white spruce, firs and so on. These birds are quite infamous for their fearless nature, often being found scavenging from campsites and cabins. This behavior has even earned these birds the nickname "camp robbers". That all being said, no matter how much of a nuisance they may be to campers, there's no denying that the Canada Jay is a stunning bird.
