Jonathan Dickinson State Park
Jupiter, Florida
Scrub Jay.
Marc- We were upon out early to meet up for a guided Scrub Jay hike at Jonathan Dickinson State Park. Our guide described the habitat of Florida Scrub. It consists of rolling hills with oak bushes and oak trees, pine trees, saw palmetto palms, cactus and other plants. We saw many Scrub Jays and Northern Mocking birds (the Florida State Bird), and there were cat birds and cardinals, too. Only the Scrub Jays came near us. They are not afraid of people. They are only found in Florida in the scrub. It was a thrill to see them.
The saw palmetto palm.
Prickly pear cactus.
Prickly pear fruit.
Well worth the effort.
