Florida Scrub Jay
The Florida Scrub Jay (Aphelocoma coerulescens) is one of the species of scrub jay native to North America. It is the only species of bird endemic to the U.S. state of Florida. Because of this, it is heavily sought by birders who travel from across the country to observe this unique species.
It is 11 inches long, and weighs 2.5 to 3 ounces. It has a strong black bill, blue head and nape without a crest, a whitish forehead and supercilium, blue bib and wings, grayish underparts, gray back, long blue tail, black legs and feet.

Back to J.D.S.P. for a post CacheAppalooza day long 16 mile bike and hike. This was cache find #13 for the day. TFTC/SL

As an aside, this area could use some heavy CITO action.
It seems the trash receptacle JDSP has provided, even though locked, is no match for the racoons. There was so much trash in the area. I stopped and picked some up, but we could have spent several hours at this one spot. We met some young men camping here and explained geocaching to them, perhaps they will do some cleaning up while they are back here..they were nice kids.
