The other jay we often see here is the California scrub jay. Looks like it’s going for some nesting material here.

This scrub jay was walking around the park, picking up morsels from the grass. Here, its mouth is quite full, but it still managed to pick a bug up with the end of its beak.

I liked this Woodhouse Scrub Jay photo I took recently but didn't like the background so much so I tried changing it a bit.
Florida scrub jays are omnivorous and eat a wide variety of acorns, seeds, peanuts, insects, tree frogs, turtles, snakes, lizards, and young mice. They have also been occasionally observed to eat other birds' eggs or nestlings, but this occurs rarely. They routinely cache thousands of acorns a year, burying them just beneath the surface. The acorns are typically buried in the fall and consumed during the winter and spring. Acorns that are forgotten or missed may germinate, making the Florida Scrub-Jay an effective agent for the dispersal of a variety of oak trees. ~ Wikipedia

The Florida scrub jay is one of the species of scrub jay native to North America. It is the only species of bird endemic to the U.S. state of Florida and one of only 15 species endemic to the continental United States. Because of this, it is keenly sought by birders. It is known to have been present in Florida as a distinct species for at least 2 million years, and is possibly derived from the ancestors of Woodhouse's scrub jay. ~ Wikipedia
