A California Scrub Jay checking out his surroundings, before flying to our seed feeding station. We had four to five inches of snow during the last couple of days. There were at least a 100 birds looking for seed during this WInter event. We spread seed in numerous places on top of the snow, so they could easily have a meal. Photo taken in Camas, Washington.
I heard a pair of scrub jays in the bushes along the side of the road. They were clearly more aware of each other than me, and this one was putting on a nice show for the other. They soon headed off into the underbrush, out of sight but definitely not out of hearing range!!!
The Florida scrub jay has a highly specialized diet that consists mainly of acorns and is able to cache thousands of acorns per year in memory of their locations, making them one of the few species of birds that exhibit true spatial memory.
Florida Scrub Jay ~ Aphelocoma coerulescens~ Bold, blue-and-gray jay of oak scrub in central Florida. Juveniles have browner head and back than adults. Lacks crest and patterning on the wings and tail seen on Blue Jay. Very social, staying in close family groups to raise young. Readily hops on the ground while searching for food. Unique scrubby habitat must burn periodically in order to remain appropriate for Florida Scrub-Jays. Classified as threatened under the Endangered Species Act. eBird.org

It’s been all excitement on the photography front with the aurora being seen as far south as Cornwall the last two night. Did you get out? I saw the red alarm and was half prepared to go out to the coast, but looking out the window it was too cloudy. I kept stopping my catch up viewing of Endeavour and looking but it didn’t seem worth it. I caught a good showing from our coast last year but to be honest unless I’m going to some interesting dark sky location I don’t see the point of another local point and shoot snap. That said the fact I was up and down looking out the window I’ll probably do exactly that some night in the future. Anyway he’s a stupidly early photo from last June up at Steetley pier.

As its name implies, the Florida Scrub-Jay is found only in Florida, in areas of low oak scrub. Unfortunately, habitat fragmentation has landed this stunningly beautiful bird on the Federal endangered species list.

It is very rare since I went out to shoot birds. Catching few birds and taken photos made this day of shooting a fun day.
Scrub Jay is a tiny bird, about 10 inches in length, and it only weighs about 80 grams. It is native to the State of Florida.
They sure make a lot of noise, but they certainly are beautiful birds!
No use of my bird image in any form without my permission!
Thanks so much.
A few scrub jays were working the leftovers from this tree near the water front. High above, crows and starlings were perched, occasionally dropping leaves and seeds, which the scrub jays would quickly scoop up.
The California scrub jay is a species of scrub jay native to western North America. It ranges from southern British Columbia throughout California and western Nevada near Reno to west of the Sierra Nevada.
A California Scrub Jay looks for the acorn the squirrel has just buried. And the game goes on. Add in a crow, and the game gets more complex, and all over a little nut.
The passerine birds of the genus Aphelocoma include the scrub jays and their relatives. They are New World jays found in Mexico, western Central America and the western United States, with an outlying population in Florida. And then, someone decided just a few short years ago that there were Island, Coastal, and Inland Scrub Jays. To me, they're scrub jays all with similar behaviors and plumage.
This scrub jay dropped from a pine tree onto this lawn near Commonwealth Lake when I was returning to my care, affording me a shot at it.
