Algonquin Park Gray Jays

 One spring I had the pleasure of meeting two particular year-round residents of Algonquin Park.  While out for a drive along hi-way 60 I noticed what appeared to be a flash of white.  Pulling over I observed two Gray Jays high in a spruce.  Grabbing a handful of peanuts I hopped out of the car and much to my delight two inquisitive birds approached without hesitation.  From the first moment they bounced across my hand I was mesmerized.  While the enchanting pair took turns coming for treats I had ample time to appreciate their exquisite beauty.
