Description

A Florida Scrub Jay angrily looks into my camera seeking food. People have spotted visitors bringing food to feed these birds, which makes them dependent on humans for a food source. This is dangerous for both the animal and the person hiking. Many people think that feeding wild animals will help aid in their survival but it is actually a detriment to their future as a species.
