The Old Lady visited the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge near Titusville, Florida, and found the entrance to an area of Florida Scrub Jay habitat which was closed for nesting season.
As she stood looking over the gate who should appear but one of the famously elusive Scrub Jays!
The bird was friendly and allowed itself to be photographed.
Then she flew right in front of The Old Lady, speaking in a soft squawky voice, and returned to the more pressing business of finding food.
The Old Lady felt blessed.
