I just changed my sticks today. The old ones were getting old. :)

I have one dead stick stuck right into the dirt, at an angle, and near a feeder. Another one is stuck into the rotten center hole on a piece of tree we chainsawed to sit flat. Both got new dead limbs today and I got to say, the birds just love it, exploring them and trying new perches. I mean, who knew? It's like a new climbing toy at the park. It also gives me some new angles to shoot. ;)

Stunning shots Karen, these are some of the best Blue Jay shots i've seen.
No matter of a soft tail, overall superb! :)

Thanks, Bob adn Mitch and Phil-I'll have to try the new perch thing. I thought new anything would scare them but sounds like they enjoy the change! I need a new set-up of branches anyway. Just have to figure it out.

Well, I was a little worried, but before I could get back inside, they were checking it all out. Afterall, this is their yard. They really seem to enjoy it. I'll have to do it more often. :)

I'm working on a series of blinds in my backyard now with strategically located feeders, baths, etc...I'll post some pics when it's done. Now all I have to do is order my new 30D and lens(es)!! Very soon!! Currently shooting with a G6. It might be a nice thread if others could post some pics of their blinds.

Love the blue jay. Amazing they can open so wide. My husband got me a peanut feeder for them for Christmas and the clerk at the store told him that the jays actually shake the peanut before flying off to make sure it's not an empty shell. Pretty smart birds.

I have to say, I am always surprised which pictures get the most comments here! I would have thought some of my shots of geese with babies or the gosling in the flowers--were much better than these blue jay shots..which seem kind of ordinary to me. :)
