Blue Jay

I am glad to see this bird in my backyard. They have noticeably absent in the past few years due to West Nile Virus.

Nice.

Great shot. Awesome detail and colour.

Nice capture, Randy. I like the way the subject is framed by the branches.

Randy everything here is nice and sharp and the composition is great but it will be nicer if you put a little bit of shine in your birdie's eyes...

Good capture of not an easy subject.

My only nit from shooting out my office window is that it faces due south, I can never get the eye shine. In this situation, i was able to capture more detail due to overcast skies. One of those trade offs, I reckon.

Very nice shot. These guys are tricky to photograph. I can never get them in a natural setting. Occasionally, one will sit at my feeder, but I prefer the framing that you were able to capture. I had no idea that this bird was so threatened by West Nile Virus. I am not that far from Minnesota and come to think of it, I do believe they have been less prevalent here???

I don't believe you can't PP this....

Eye shine to me is the holy grail of wildlife shots.....it has to be natural.......really a situation where I can but I don't. Just kinda' what makes it fun
