Steller's jay ready for a picnic
A cheeky Steller's jay trying to earn its lunch through begging on a picnic area. Much like gray jays getting accustomed to human presence, these clever birds do not hesitate to snap a sandwich out of the hands of unwary tourists or peck at the dead bugs stuck on your windscreen even when you stand close by.
Roger's Pass (elevation 1,330 m), Selkirk Mountains, Glacier National Park, British Columbia, Canada
