There was a pair that followed us about a quarter of a mile down from
the top of the mountain. They literally ate out of the palms of our

The one in the photo is a smaller one we saw a little later.

Oh, and Lisa informs me it's a Gray Jay, not a Chickadee.

That's the full image, no cropping, downsized to 800px height.
