A Siberian Jay has fed from my hand. ♥♥♥ I didn't manage to get that moment on camera, because they're quick! But here they are:

Four Siberian Jays sitting in the snow, one of them with a bit of bread in its beak.

They are reddish-brown birds in the Corvid family that live in old-growth forest in the taiga. Although they live so far from human habitation, they are inquisitive birds that will happily come and share your meal when you take a break from cross-country skiing. They are one of my favorite birds!

For good measure, here is also a view of the landscape I'm skiing through:

Snowy landscape with spruce and birch trees, heavily weighed down by snow.

I'm torn between what joy and awesome in the original sense of the word.
Nature magic.
