Species: California Scrub-jay
Most recent capture date: 1/08/2022
Notes: Scrub-jays really like to hold onto things with their feet. Usually we give them a pen to hold and they are content with that, but this fellow threw the pen away multiple times – not dropped the pen, THREW it – to grasp my hands while I measured him. After we released him I found that his sharp claws had drawn blood!
