Jonathan Dickinson State Park 

Jupiter,  Florida    

Scrub Jay (Florida State Bird).

Marc-  We were upon out early to meet up for a guided Scrub Jay hike at Jonathan Dickinson State Park.  Our guide helped helped describe 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, cat birds and  cardinals. Only the Scrub Jays were easy to photograph.

The saw palmetto palm.


Prickly pear cactus.

Prickly pear fruit.

The Scrub Jays are not shy.



Well worth the effort.
