Todd and I spent the day yesterday at the Winter Fair at the Scrub Jay Trail in Lake County, Florida. We were part of the volunteer team for this event and had a blast!

NWF's Ranger Rick was there as well :)

The Scrub Jay Trail is a sanctuary for the federally threatened Florida Scrub Jay, a species whose population is estimated at fewer than 6,000 birds. Florida Scrub Jays live primarily in scrub and sandhill areas.
The Florida Scrub-Jay Trail provides an opportunity to experience plants, birds, and other wildlife of the Florida scrub.
Thanks for posting about this. I've lived in Florida for several years, but I had never heard of the Scrub Jay Trail or this event.
