I've never seen a Blue Jay sit like this on a branch...it wasn't injured. We looked at each other for about 5 minutes before it moved on.

Maybe he enjoyed the conversation and your company and decided to just chill ;) . Pretty shot.

Great Stuff Daune, He does seem to have a relaxed personality sitting like that. It's like he's puzzled as to why the human goes in that dog house and sit's for long period's of time. lol

You obviously know how to make your birds comfortable, Duane. Wonderful shot. Thanks for sharing.

Lovely image. My husband saw a scrub jay sitting on the ground, just sitting like your jay, not perching. He wondered whether it was feeling all right. Apparently it was. I guess this posture is normal for jays but not often seen.

But a pretty bump he/she is Duane!
Doesn't look like it's in a hurry to go anywhere the way it's parked, and your image captures that wonderfully.

Beautiful image Duane. Maybe I should have asked my Bluejay model to do that during his photo shoot!

Thank you everyone. Truth be told the Blue Jays have me trained well because they know me as the "dispenser of peanuts" when I'm sitting out on the deck photographing the backyard birds. I have 2 that pretty much beg for them and one that will help himself/herself to the largest peanut from the dish when it's sitting a few feet from me. They have it rough in my backyard. ;)
