In this ten-second video, there is a bird on the ground, just left of center, in the lower part of the screen.

The gray jay, if it is a gray jay, is back on the branch in the lower left of the screen.

I can't tell what it is in this video, but some small animal crawls through the bushes just left of the lower center of the screen. It could be a bird on the ground, but more likely a chipmunk, squirrel or rodent.

In this short video, I don't see anything until near the end of the clip, when the bird flies back to the tree in the center right of the screen.

The gray jay flies up from near the center-bottom of the screen to the same tree he was on in the last video. The camera is a Primos Truth Cam 35 wildlife camera set up on the edge of a small clearing near the cedar swamps of Petra, Maine.

At least the bird moves once in awhile. In this video, he's in the tree to the left of the center of the screen. The camera is set up on the edge of a small clearing at the edge of a cedar swamp in Petra, Maine.

The bird seems to have moved in permanently. I'm not an expert on birds but I think this is a gray jay, which may also be known as a gorby, a Canadian jay, or a whiskey jack. Gray jays are friendly little beggars.

There's not a lot going on in the cedar swamp. It has been a few days since the camera found anything to film, and it seems that the subject is the same bird in the same place that he was at a few days ago.
