Great bird!<BR/><BR/>3C,<BR/>Our scrub jays are isolated in pockets of the correct habitat. It's sadly easy not to see them.<BR/><BR/>Dani,<BR/>I agree. Perhaps a test should be administered before residency is granted.<BR/>In the meantime, I will continue to spread the word.<BR/><BR/>Debbie, <BR/>You said it ... that reader is amazing. I am in awe of his versatility. Glad to be part of the flock!<BR/><BR/>Swampy,<BR/>Will do. I really have no choice now. I'm hooked.<BR/><BR/>Sharon,<BR/>Oops ... no bacon!<BR/>I hear ya about stopping. My family has accepted that it's going to happen ... Dad is going to stop for any worthwhile photo op.<BR/>Alone ... I'm guilt free, so I do enjoy these photo trips when I know I'm not boring someone else.<BR/><BR/>Robin,<BR/>When the first book came out, it didn't hook me right away and I never gave it another fair try...didn't even watch the movies, but now I'm watching the movie as I finish the book. I love the way this author has fired up youth pleasure reading around the globe. As a teacher, I owe her a debt of thanks.<BR/><BR/>Troll,<BR/>I could not agree with you more on this issue. What were they thinking when they picked the mockingbird for OUR state bird?<BR/>Ridiculous.<BR/><BR/>Suze,<BR/>Ditto on the jay for state bird.<BR/>I've never been to Archbold, but my brother has and it sounds wonderful.<BR/><BR/>Lori,<BR/>Maybe beef ribs!<BR/>Glad you liked the pics!<BR/><BR/>HTeen,<BR/>She likes pigs not pork dude. Chewie is safe.<BR/>There once were scrub jays (1980's) along A1A ,south of Summer Haven, but I think they lost out to the condo's.<BR/><BR/>Deb,<BR/>They are good lookin' and likeable. What a combo!<BR/>Give Potter a try, I'm glad I did.R.Powershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04905593499136090763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12006171.post-65927226972924071212008-01-24T18:33:00.000-05:002008-01-24T18:33:00.000-05:00A Florida scrub jay- Cool!

The ones I've seen are banded by the Archbold Biological Station. That is a unique place to visit. There was quite a building frenzy going on in Lake Placid for a few years, but the crashed housing market has stopped that - thank God.Susan Humestonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14374042568634619411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12006171.post-37745159282093228642008-01-24T11:30:00.000-05:002008-01-24T11:30:00.000-05:00My source seems to say that the Florida Scrub Jay ...My source seems to say that the Florida Scrub Jay is separate and distinct from their Western cousins.
