Canadian Jay (Camp Robber)

A quiet bird of the conifer forests, the Canadian Jay is better known as "Camp Robber." Camp in the northern woods for any length of time and these birds will show up. Silently drifting out of the conifers to confiscate food scraps, they become quite bold in short time.

Pictured here is one of a pair that were feeding on elder berries growing along an old logging road in the Lindstrom Peak area south of St. Maries, ID. (Where I live.)
