Hey all. It's been a while since it happened, but I had an experience up on Mount Washington in early April and I was wondering if anyone else had experienced it as well. One of my partners and I had stopped for a breather on the Jewel Trail and these two birds flew right up to us; they were within 3 feet. They looked like a chickadee that had been swallowed a softball and were acting as if they wanted us to contribute to their size if you know what I mean. Just curious if anyone else saw this, and if so, do you know what kind of birds those are? Hope your summers have started off great! Happy trails!

One of these?

Exactly! So it's a grey jay. Awesome shot btw!
