Good shot of a bird that doesn't like me. ;-)a Cardinals and blue jays seem to hide in the branches when I'm in the area.

Very, very jealous. I've been chasing one of these guys for THREE YEARS NOW!

Happy for you though...

Hey thanks a lot too all!

Only until recently have the Cardinals and Blue Jays started paying me less attention with the camera gear. Now to get that little Indigo Bunting to come around ... :D

Man, just left a comment on your jay from just two days ago with your first attempt using the BB. Can't believe these two shots. Really nice.


I fish because that's what the voices in my head tell me to do.
