Pair of Green Jays

I take quite a few people out photographing/birding from other parts of the country (and world for that matter) and the one bird they all want to see is the Green Jay. Their expressions upon spotting one are priceless. Seemed an appropriate choice for my 1,000th post.

Great shots, and very nice birds as well

Wow what stunning birds, haven't seen these before.

Wow! Thanks for sharing; I know *I* would be all over trying to get some good shots of those...the colors are amazing

These are really unusual and attractive birds Miles. You've done a great job of capturing them.

Wow - some nice shots of a very funky bird.

These are fabulous Miles....they look like they have eye brows

Oh wow, what beautiful birds. Unusual colours. Never seen them before. Lovely shots.

How common are these in Texas? They sure are wild looking!

I had never even heard of Green Jays before. Seeing the pair of them together makes for some nice shots.

Apparently they are found at the very south tip of Texas:

Two great shots Miles!! Nice detail and color. This bird is on my "birds to see" list. I'll have to make a trip and head down there sometime.

Great shots Miles.....love the colors on these guys.

Miles,

Congrats on your 1000th Post and Some really great shots of this colorful Jay to go along with it.

I dont believe I have seen many of these posted, there beautiful birds. they appear to have an eye tuft above there eye in the black feathers, and that false patch of blue which almost mimics an eye... Very interesting birds!!!

Great Job. What a beautiful looking bird. What part of Texas do you find them in?

Great looking shots and pretty birds. The look very mellow.
