July 23, 2023

I am a Florida Scrub Jay
I have a broken beak.
I might have been predated,
Or was like this when created,
Either way, my future looks bleak.

(This is one of the birds in my monitoring area. We are not sure what happened to him - we haven't seen it for a while so have not been able to trap it for rehab.)

Location: St. Sebastian River Preserve State Park
