Quite some time ago I was a park ranger in Yosemite. One day a tourist
brought in a very young stellars jay which had somehow gotten out of a nest.
I ended up adopting it and assumed like all the other birds I have ever
adopted, it would die. It did not. I fed it meal worms and it grew into a
handsome and very inquisitive adult. I have a whole book of stories to tell
about this bird named Jack. One day I drove down the road to El Portal to a
friends house for a party. As I was sitting on the deck, Jack, the stellars
jay, arrived, having presumably followed my car. Jack was always willing to
try new food and drink and at this party he decided to help himself to my
whiskey sour. Well, he like it and of course, he got kind of loaded. In fact
so loaded that I was afraid to leave him so I put him in my car and drove
him home. Which goes to show, you should always have a designated driver.
