Finally got a Blue Jay that I'm happy with. Used a monopod with a Better Beamer set at 1/250, ISO 400 and f5.6 on the 400L. Thanks for looking:lol:

Photographs are records of life. Pity they don't make music when you put them in a record player. :p

What exactly is a Better Beamer, and is that its real name or just what people call it?

Very nice, they can be easily bought with peanuts or sunflower seeds.

Good shot. We have a lot of them around here, but they don't like you getting too close. Raw peanuts will certainly draw them.

Terrific capture. I attempted a shot yesterday of a BlueJay in the trees but the light was just not in my favor. The composition on yours is excellent.
