Rather than sleep in or do some other foolish thing like that I did what any self-respecting birder from New York who finds himself in Florida would do: I went birding!

The bird in the images in this post wandered out onto a dirt road in the Adirondack Mountains of New York three years ago , probably to grit, and when Daisy and I drove up it walked up onto the side of a snowbank, looked around a bit, and then made its way over the snowbank and into the woods.

It is my belief that the birds were migrating, though one New York birder suggested that they might have been flying out for some crepuscular feeding. Either way, it was a heck of a sight and another example of why Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge is the best place in New York City to see amazing wildlife spectacles.

Gray Jays have long been more than willing to scarf down the offal that remains when hunters process a carcass so it is little wonder that they have adapted their foraging habits to include whatever scraps picnickers are willing to share. The bold gray-and-white birds know what humans are good for and that is as a source of food!
