Morsels - Also known as "Camp Robber," the Gray Jay is one of the tamest and most brazen birds in North America. It quietly moves to a campsite and will land on a camper's hand to grab a bite of the sandwich that is being held. This jay will also steal bacon from a hot frying pan or any foods left in the open It will even enter tents and fly off with matches, candles, or other items it finds of interest. It stores its food by wrapping it into balls, held together with saliva, and hiding it for a future meal.
