it just takes a little granola and some strategic placement. They're gray jays...they usually occur in northern boreal forests all over north america (more northern than NH) but there is a population in the white mountains due to the climate. They are notorious all over their range for being camp thieves and very friendly with hikers.

Absolutely amazing fishinfool.
My hat's off to you, which is a good thing as it looks like the grayjay probably made off with yours. |

too cool! I'd rep ya, but I'm in rep jail (feels like forever).
Does the granola trick work with many birds, or just the gray jay?

I've been able to feed chickadees by hand in the UP of Michigan, and hummingbirds will do it sometimes too, but overall that's about the only bird that will readily come up to unfamiliar people in different places. The others are trained by people/place.
