Boy Meets Bird | Tuesday Aug 12, 2008
So I was down by the lake and I hear my friend call, "Deb, come here and grab your camera!" There was her son Nick holding out crackers and this Gray Jay was landing on his hand and taking a cracker, flying to a tree to hide the cracker, then coming back for more. Simply amazing. I had been to the Boundary Waters for 20 years and never had this happen, Nick had this amazing thing happen on his first trip ever. The nickname of the Gray Jay is "camp robber", as they like to feed on the scraps left behind by campers. But to have one land on your hand time after time...pretty darn cool!
