Don't have the lens for birds but since these Gray Jays are so tamed and friendly they literally were pitching on the edge of the BBQ lid. So I positioned the tripod along side the BBQ and with fork in one hand and remote release in the other I managed to get one worthy of posting.

And "no", BBQ Jay wasn't for dinner:lol::lol::lol:

Thanks for looking.
C&C always

Nice shot, I agree its well done, but hopefully not because it stayed too long on the barbie.

Great detail in the feathers and face. I love it when they get almost tame.
