BlueJay In The Grass

Taken a couple of days ...one of my favourite birds and they stay all 4 seasons

Canon 30D and 400mm F5.6

ISO 320 1/250 sec at F5.6 on the first and F6.3 on the second.

Absolutely perfect.
These shots are very professional, if only I could take good shots as these.

Wow ...these are among the best shots I have ever seen of the BlueJay. Outstanding shots. Well done as always Gary.

I'm no longer green with envy looking at your posts Gary...
I've turned "BLUE" .. must be from gasping to get my breath from the "WOW" factor. Excellent job!

Nice shots...

Great shotsa again Gary, such beautiful birds but real bullys.

Dan

what a pretty bird, lovely shots!!

Hi,
two great shots that show this birds features really well,
good colors, great exposure and sharp.
IMHO a little more leg room in # 2, but as we know these guys don't stop hopping

Great capture!

Pretty shots Gary. The colors are great. I've yet to get a shot of a blue jay that's not either on the feeder of way up in a maple. They're very timid here.

I love the colors. They jump out!!

Gary, those are really crisp captures. Thanks for sharing them.

Cheers,

Lynn

Thanks Clare for the comment. Here is an almost identical shot ( tilt of the head and less aware or bothered by me) with more leg room.taken seconds before... and thanks to everyone who commented on the shots .

Three beautiful pictures. The colours of the bird, and the simple grass background - amazing.

As usual Gary, outstanding.
