Ah the old looking up when standing at the bus stop trick, used to do that one when I was a kid.

Great capture Sandy.

That's a lot of blue jays - almost enough for a pie!

Thank you everyone! I was counting and clicking as they landed. As the 6th one landed something spooked them.

I'm guessing that your yard is not very quiet.

Nope, never quiet, never a dull moment. There are lots more Bluejays than the ones pictured!

Thanks John and Craig! Bluejays are always funny, but when I saw what I captured, I had to laugh!

Wow Sandy! I've got lotsa Blue Jays around too, but never in the same frame like yours.
Quite an impressive gathering and funny how adding that last one made them all look up. Great timing!

Thanks Steve! The most I have counted at one time was 17, and that was during the cold winter months. They love the cracked corn...pile it up...and they will come!
