What the heck is a scrub jay..... I see a picture of a bird......... wait......... don't they fly? Why would they be "crossing"??
Okay, I have an inquiring mind.... so I wanted to find out for myself.
So, here is what I found out! These little beauties are on the threatened species list for the State of Florida... they ONLY live in Florida.... and yes they can fly. HOWEVER, they like to walk along the side of the roadways and bury nuts..... and pick up bugs. Therefore........

I personally prefer to wine. I find my happy place to be my back patio with a glass of wine....... no phone or laptop in sight........ just watching the birds and hanging with my cats. When I get a little overwhelmed....... I just step away....
