Great shots! We have bluejays and we have acorns, but I have never been able to capture the two together. Well done.

They always seem to be gorging on acorns here in the fall.

Great shots Shawn! ~ love blue jays ~ maybe if I stop with the sunflower seeds I'll be able to get a shot with an acorn too ;)

One of my favorite birds... you sure captured his "personality" and beauty in these shots... I especially like the habitat/leaf setting in the second image... I have around eight that fly in at day break for peanuts, they never miss a day.
