Perisoreus canadensis
"Adult Description:: Large gray songbird. Long tail. Short, black bill. Pale gray face and forehead. Dark cap extending down nape and onto cheek. " ~allaboutbirds.org
This was taken at Kingfisher Lake Environmental Center. The Gray Jays (or Whiskey Jacks!) were pretty friendly and I happened to have some cranberries... didn't take long for one to come help himself! What I love about this shot, is the fact that he almost "posed" for me before he took a cranberry and flew away.
