Florida Scrub Jay #Shorts

The rare Florida Scrub Jay is the only bird species endemic to Florida and one of only 15 birds endemic to the United States. The Florida Scrub Jay is listed as a threatened under the endangered species act and rapid critical habitat loss continues. They live in oak scrub land with isolated pines and can not live in dense canopy so loss of habitat to development and growth of dense tree cover due to unnatural fire suppression shrinks suitable habitat. They live well behind backyard south in an open area with oak shrubs. They do not like the dense jungle behind the Backyard and since there is an infinite supply of small lizards and such they show no interest in feeders. Although in some parts of Florida they have been trained to eat peanuts in shell just like the ubiquitous blue jays. This jay is guarding its territory on a very windy day.
