Stilpnia vitriolina (Scrub Tanager / Tangara Rastrojera)
The Scrub Tanager is a common open country bird of the Colombian and Ecuadorian Andes. Due to its preference for scrub and bushy areas, it is most easily found in dry intermontane ‘rainshadow’ valleys but is expanding into more humid areas in the wake of human disturbance.
The Scrub Tanager is identified by its silvery greenish plumage, rust-colored cap and black mask. In further contrast to this typically gregarious genus, the Scrub Tanager most often is encountered as solitary pairs.

Scrub jays are pretty common around here, so we look for good places where they pose. I liked the mossy log and soft background. This is on Sauvie Island.

The Florida Scrub-Jay looks just like this guy at a quick glance. The Florida model only lives in Florida and the forehead isn't deep blue like the Western Scrub Jay.

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
Photographed at my home, Yakima County, Washington.

Number 10 and the end of my Columbian Tanager series. I will post more Tanager photos as I get to them.
Went to Greenway again, and encountered a jay on the same bridge, this time on my side of the bridge. Might be the same one?
There's a short foot bridge connecting Greenway Park with Koll business center. I was approaching from the Greenway side, when I saw movement near the other end. Soon, this scrub jay landed on the far end of the bridge and paused for a few shots.
The Florida Scrub Jay is endemic only to Florida. They are illegal to feed but lots of people will take peanuts when going to their areas. They will come and stand on your head, or in your hand and eat a peanut.

This scrub jay was dropping to the ground to grab food, then back into a bush to eat it, then back down.
Yesterday (6/23) afternoon two California Scrub-Jays that are often at my home were in my yard so I decided to feed them a few peanuts and photograph them. /there are almost always 2 of them when they show up. IMG_7006
A California Scrub-Jay was patiently waiting his turn on our back fence to come into the yard for his daily peanut rations. His plans were changed when an American Crow launched from a neighbor's roof and startled the CASJ overhead with the Crow's very loud Caw-Caw sounds. This caused the CASJ to explode off the fence and fly to a neighbor's yard until the coast was clear for him to come back for peanuts.

This California Scrub Jay was one of several that mingled in the bushes near the trail where I was walking. I stopped to enjoy their antics and take a few shots. At Greenway Park.
