I hate common names for organisms; Dragonflies, Birds, Bugs. If they were common everyone would know them.

This is my backyard Corvid, a Western Scrub-Jay, Aphelocoma californica, that comes to my photo workshop door and begs for peanuts. It is from a 2015 brood and I noticed when it first started coming to the feeders on the patio that it did not startle when it could see me moving around through the sliding door. After a couple weeks of moving the peanuts closer to the door and then inside it has gotten more gutsy. It is still very wary and I have to sit perfectly still.
