Just a blue jay but first time I've spotted a nest that I was able to get a meaningful photo of. I'll keep an eye on it and hopefully will be able to get more as the eggs hatch.

Thanks Don (and everyone else). I've seen nesting blue jays in the past but the nests have always been much higher off the ground. This one is only about five feet off the ground.

I shot this with the 35-350, I don't use it much but I was doing some tests with it when I stumbled on the nest.
