To my surprise when coming home from a hike I found this <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_jay" class="extiw" title="w:Blue jay">Blue jay</a> "(Cyanocitta cristata)" laying in the grass in my yard. It would not fly away regardless of how close I approached. I never did try to make physical contact. After photographing all around this bird I returned outside shortly afterwards and saw it fly away seemingly fine. As I have thought back on it I don't know what he was doing but I doubt i'll get that close to a wild one again.
