The incredibly cute and inquisitive Canada Jay (Perisoreus canadensis) is well known to anyone hiking the alpine summits of the White Mountains. Canada Jays (also known as Gray Jays, Whiskey Jacks, Gorbies, or Camp Robbers) often have close interactions with people and are frequently photographed landing on a person’s hand to take food, perching on someone’s head, or photobombing a perfectly staged summit shot.
