In Florida, when you find sizable areas of scrub oaks, you may find Florida scrub jays. They are very sociable and curious and tend to travel in family groups. Scrub jays can be very approachable which makes them a fun species to photograph. Their bright blue and gray markings are beautiful. It\u2019s always a treat to find them because there are so few around. They are only found in Florida. The Federal Endangered Species Act lists them as threatened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" src=\"https:\/\/flgcc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/220220-4-florida-scrub-jay-alertly-watching-from-scrub-oak-branch.jpg\" alt=\"Florida Scrub Jay Alertly Watching From Scrub Oak Branch\" class=\"wp-image-98934\" srcset=\"https:\/\/flgcc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/220220-4-florida-scrub-jay-alertly-watching-from-scrub-oak-branch.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/flgcc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/220220-4-florida-scrub-jay-alertly-watching-from-scrub-oak-branch-900x600.jpg 900w, https:\/\/flgcc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/220220-4-florida-scrub-jay-alertly-watching-from-scrub-oak-branch-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/flgcc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/220220-4-florida-scrub-jay-alertly-watching-from-scrub-oak-branch-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/flgcc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/220220-4-florida-scrub-jay-alertly-watching-from-scrub-oak-branch-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/flgcc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/220220-4-florida-scrub-jay-alertly-watching-from-scrub-oak-branch-2048x1366.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Florida Scrub Jay Alertly Watching from a Scrub Oak Branch<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" src=\"https:\/\/flgcc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/220220-4-florida-scrub-jay-perched-on-very-top-scrub-oak-branch.jpg\" alt=\"Florida Scrub Jay Perched On Very Top Scrub Oak Branch\" class=\"wp-image-98932\" srcset=\"https:\/\/flgcc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/220220-4-florida-scrub-jay-perched-on-very-top-scrub-oak-branch.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/flgcc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/220220-4-florida-scrub-jay-perched-on-very-top-scrub-oak-branch-900x600.jpg 900w, https:\/\/flgcc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/220220-4-florida-scrub-jay-perched-on-very-top-scrub-oak-branch-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/flgcc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/220220-4-florida-scrub-jay-perched-on-very-top-scrub-oak-branch-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/flgcc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/220220-4-florida-scrub-jay-perched-on-very-top-scrub-oak-branch-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/flgcc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/220220-4-florida-scrub-jay-perched-on-very-top-scrub-oak-branch-2048x1366.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Florida Scrub Jay Perched on the Top of a Scrub Oak Branch<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1708\" src=\"https:\/\/flgcc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/220220-4-florida-scrub-jay-resting-in-middle-of-scrub-oak.jpg\" alt=\"Florida Scrub Jay Resting In Middle Of Scrub Oak\" class=\"wp-image-98931\" srcset=\"https:\/\/flgcc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/220220-4-florida-scrub-jay-resting-in-middle-of-scrub-oak.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/flgcc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/220220-4-florida-scrub-jay-resting-in-middle-of-scrub-oak-900x600.jpg 900w, https:\/\/flgcc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/220220-4-florida-scrub-jay-resting-in-middle-of-scrub-oak-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/flgcc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/220220-4-florida-scrub-jay-resting-in-middle-of-scrub-oak-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/flgcc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/220220-4-florida-scrub-jay-resting-in-middle-of-scrub-oak-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/flgcc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/220220-4-florida-scrub-jay-resting-in-middle-of-scrub-oak-2048x1366.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Florida Scrub Jay Resting in the Middle of a Scrub Oak Tree<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More photos have been uploaded to the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/flgcc.com\/index.php\/gary-walker-photography\/galleries\/nature\/birds\/jays\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"21720\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Jays<\/a><\/strong> gallery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We recently ventured out to nearby nature preserve which has a large stand of scrub oaks.
