Description
Banded Florida Scrub Jay . . . the Florida Scrub-Jay is the only bird species that lives exclusively in Florida, where it occurs in patches of low-growing scrub oak in sandy soils . . . a very social bird they live in extended family groups . . . when the offspring leave the nest, instead of going off to raise young on their own they stay with their parents and help them raise next year's brood . . . finding this family of Scrub Jays was a bit of an accident . . . as soon as we walked into their area we were surrounded by at least 5 of them . . . although a bit skittish, they did pose for lots of pic . . .
