I caught one of the three baby scrub jays from my backyard staring curiously at a female northern flicker (red-shafted.) It hopped closer and closer until it was just six or eight inches from the flicker, at which point she flew off and scared the fledgeling away.
PNW US, July 2023
Awesome shot!
Thanks!
I love scrubs. They're jerks but have a lot of personality so are nice to have around.

Additionally, it would be appreciated if the location of the sighting and a date were given when a photo or question is posted. You do not have to give the precise location, something like "Northern Idaho, June 2023" or even "North-Western US, June 2023" suffices.
