Whiskey Jack at Battleship Lake
Also known as the gray jay (Perisoreus canadensis) or thief bird, whiskey jacks are bold little fellows that have sadly become used to getting a handout from hikers in Strathcona Provincial Park.
This fellow hopped up on my leg to see if I would share my lunch (nope_) and then bounced about in the snow to see if I changed my mind (nope…) The beer can is not part of nature and it’s not mine, but it’s another problem caused by hikers.
