You might have seen a few of these around campus, they’re called scrub jays.  Being a scrub jay must be kind of like being a celebrity’s sibling: the spotlight is always on the blue jay so everyone just forgets what pretty, little bird the scrub jay is.  Well, not this time!  I spotted this cute, and particularly plump, little guy outside of Phoenix Grill after a long day of finals and instantly felt better.  He’s no phoenix, but I imagine he does pretty well for himself picking up scraps of those delicious, seasoned fries.
