Florida Scrub Jay
The Florida Scrub Jay is a threatened species of scrub jay found only in Florida.  I have only seen them in one location--the Scrub Ridge Trail on Merritt Island.  But I've seen at least one every time I've walked the trail.  If you go, be sure to bring lots of bug spray, and also be prepared for it not to work.  I've never walked the trail without being escorted back to my car by a herd of mosquitoes.  Only once have I walked the entire trail--it's  a very short trail, but the mosquitoes get the best of me every time.  But I'll tell you, it's worth it.  The Florida Scrub Jay is a wonderful bird to see; here's a couple photos of the Florida Scrub Jay.
