These are what really attract me to this yard. I'll keep returning until I get the "perfect" photo of these pretty birds. But, I think I'll wait til after this massive Christmas storm that's predicted, passes. :cry: If nothning else, I'm learning how to use my flash for outdoors bird shooting. ;)

Nice shots. They seem to have their Blue Jays trained. :)

Trained? I wish. They normally give me 1 shot if I'm lucky, and then they're gone. The Jays are much more skittish than the Cardinals.

Thanks for the comments, dudes.

I'm having the opposite issue at my new "training perch". The jays don't care if I'm there so long as I don't move too much and stay back at least 20 feet but the cardinals won't come out of hiding unless I stay in the car. Considering the temps, I think maybe the cards are doing me a favor...
