Gray Jay (Perisoreus canadensis)

A widespread and confiding denizen of boreal and sub-alpine forests, the Gray Jay frequently approaches people for food. It may even land on your hand for a morsel. This tameness can also lead to the pilferage of food not offered, and is responsible for the colloquial name of "camp robber."

Hi Mario,
I like your Gray Jay. Very nice details and focus. My dad always called these birds Whisky jacks. Yes these birds are quite trusting and have fed a few from my hand.
Very nice,
Denis.
