The Florida Scrub Jay
Aphelocoma coerulescens coerulescens

We share our home in the Ocala National Forest,

with these animals whose Seminole names are shown in bold:

Florida Panther - coo-wah-chobee, Black Bear - nogoshe(?)

Deer - ee-cho, Turtle - yok-che, Owl - o-pa 

and Raccoon - wood-ko, one who rubs.

The kaleidoscope of tropical bird lifein our area also includes

the outrageously entertaining and endangered Scrub Jay;

here is a map of where you can see them:
