Even more friendly scrub jays! 1/16/23 at the Cruickshank Sanctuary in Rockledge, FL. The birds would wait until you’d stood still a moment and then happily land on your head until they were ready to move on. Such a cool experience.

Black Point Wildlife Drive - 12/25/22
This is such a local oddity but a family of Egyptian geese live in the pond in front of the movie theater and it’s so fun to see them being so out of place.
What a treat! A common grackle decided to briefly visit the bird buddy while I was outside with the dogs. I caught a bit of video (that is just stellar on keeping the bird in frame) and got some quick photos before he headed out.
An incredible abundance of coots!
Black Point Wildlife Drive, 3/11/23.
A bird buddy twofer! The video starts with a blue jay and then a male cardinal shows up later.
