Now I know where old cars go to die. Love the MAC delivery. That would really be nice restored.
That MAC caught my eye too along with several others I would love to have.

Great place to visit! But it can get very hot and humid in the summer. I've visited several times and my wife was there last week, but it was muggy, especially in the back where there is no air circulation! Spring and especially fall are the times to visit. Most of the area is shaded by trees, so there is always an photo opportunity. I have a few images posted at this web site: https://pics-by-carl.smugmug.com/Old-Cars/i-fNRfSw3.
I was drenched by the time I finished, but had a blast. Love your photos.

In Atlanta visiting family and took a drive up to Old Car City in White, Ga. Amazed at the number of cars they have throughout their 34 acres. I must have hiked at least 5 miles.

I still have a Nikkormat EL film camera that was manufactured from 1972-78. I think it was the first Nikon to offer aperture priority.

When I'm hiking or biking I use the Peak Capture camera clip along with the Cuff wrist strap. They both work really well for me. Even if I'm going to the beach to shoot a sunrise or just a short walk I attach the camera clip to a waist belt that has pouches for a couple of lenses and even a water bottle.

Nice job and a great memory for them. It being overcast made them stand out more. I would remove the guy in the background in the third photo. I did a really quick edit in PS.

Very nice shots, love the Scrub Jays. There are a lot of them here around Canaveral National Seashore/Kennedy Space Center/Cape Canaveral. If you spend some time around them they will land on you, your tripod, etc. Too friendly, very curious. I hope they continue to do well and gain population. I also hope Canaveral National Seashore is never auctioned off for development, or reduced in size for same.
I hope so too. They are a beautiful bird.

I'm surprised that you found some without being banded. Most of the ones I've gotten have 2 or 3 bands designating what county they were in.
Good shots!
Good shots!
I took these at the Malabar Scrub Sanctuary. I haven't noticed bands on any that I've seen.

The Florida Scrub Jay was added to the endangered species list in 1975 . As of the early 1990s, the total population was estimated at about 4,000 pairs, probably a reduction of more than 90% from original numbers. Loss of habitat has been the main problem. Prime Florida oak scrub is maintained by occasional fires, so fire prevention has added to the effect of ongoing development in squeezing out the jay's habitat.
Habitat: Florida scrublands. Its name is appropriate, for it lives only in Florida scrub, areas of short scrubby oaks growing on sandy soil. This habitat occurs mostly as isolated pockets, and the jays rarely wander away from their own little patch of scrub, making them extremely sedentary.
Taken with a Nikon D7200 and 70-300 Nikkor lens.
