Scrub jays can "duck and cover" on the Bombing Range Ridge nature preserve.

The largest conservation land area in Florida is called "Bombing Range Ridge.".  I don't know whether to laugh or cry at that name they have given.  It is really is a bombing range, designated as one of our main ones since we stopped bombing Vieques, Puerto Rico.  Instead we are dropping 500 to 2000 pound bombs in Avon Park, Florida, and using live ammo to boot.

A short distance away, seven Florida scrub-jays hop along the ground looking for acorns before returning to the stunted scrub oaks containing their nests.
