I'm no birder but I ran into this fella on a trail. Thought you guys might enjoy.
Very friendly birds up there, one followed me for a bit then later had a partner follow him down to greet me, perched 12 ft away.
Assuming it's a gray jay, but I'm no expert in this field.
Very cool that they're comfortable enough to get close to you. I'm not from the US but Grey Jay seems like a pretty good estimate
Name was changed to Canada Jay in 2018. Can be found in every Canadian province and territory from coast to coast to coast.

Additionally, it would be appreciated if the location of the sighting and a date were given when a photo or question is posted. You do not have to give the precise location, something like "Northern Idaho, June 2023" or even "North-Western US, June 2023" suffices.
