If you knew how much time I have spent trying to get a decent photo of the elusive blue jay! Always around, but they never sit still enough for me to get a decent photo. This one looks a bit scrawny, but it's a bucket list blue jay nonetheless!
He does look a touch on the scrawny side doesn't here. Congrats on getting this super shot Issi. I'd like to get a shot of a Magpie but they seem to sense whenever I even approach the window!
I feel your pain! At least you got a really nice image! We spend a bucket load on peanuts and sunflower seeds for them each summer in Nova Scotia and you'd think they might cooperate for a photo or two...but NOooo...
This is a good shot. But it is a skinny one compared to the ones I've been seeing. I think i have a baby, but I've not been able to be ready to catch it.
Great shot! I actually have tons of photos of blue jays - they're around my feeder a lot! I have them up in the tree eating seed between their talons and everything :) They are quick little buggers though!
I do agree - they are awfully hard to get focused on before they're off again! Nice job on this one. Sure is a skinny little guy, but those beautiful blue colors are there. Nice detail.
@lyndemc God, Denise, there was I sitting in the garden this afternoon, reading, when along came not one, but two blue jays, and they hung around for a bit too. Did I have my camera by my side. No I did not. I just had to make do with enjoying watching them!
