We had A "close encounter" with this little fellow. Florida Scrub Jays are a threatened species and this one has no fear what so ever. It's sad that so many animals in our state parks have been fed and have lost their fear of humans. I've never stayed in a state park that I haven't been approached by racoons or armadillos begging for food. This guy flew right into a group of nearly 20 people. On the plus side it gave us the opportunity to teach the girls about Leave No Trace principles and outdoor etiquette.Tuesday, March 17, 2009
