JamesHawkins77,the Western Scrub Jay is doing very well. We have an oak habitat here. These are very smart birds.
You should see the ones on the mountains. They look so well fed!

Very nice spotting Emma. I very much want to see a Florida Scrub jay. They're not doing so well with the declining and isolated habitat. Is the Western endangered?

Yes, auntnance nailed it, a Western Scrub Jay.

Most likely a western scrub jay (a juvenile probably because the cheeks don't appear black)
