This is my entry for #SMAP Contest Round 58. A. californica - the California Scrub Jay
These photos are from a few years ago. We have recently moved to east coast and I don't have good photos of the local Blue Jays yet.
The California Scrub Jay is one of my favorite birds. They are so smart and active. A group of 3 juveniles grew up in my neighborhood and were out every morning hopping and searching.
Happy birding!
