... Jay Blue's the name ... Mischief is my game.

Didn't think I'd get this shot. He hit that limb full speed coming in sideways and made it sway like a metronome. We've got plenty of Jay pics but this perspective struck me as a little out of the ordinary ... and catching the tail fanned out convinced me to post this. ( Like Muggsy needs any convincing to post a bird pic ) Wipe that grin off your face.

You get all the shots I just dream about getting! lol That is really an intesting perspective. You bet I'd post it if it were mine! lol These guys are so hard to even get shots of, they are so skitterish. Wonderful post, John. He looks wonderful amidst the warm colors of the autumn leaves.

Yayyyyyyyyy! A brand new birdie photo by Mr Muggsy!! This Bloo Jay is just lovely for sure!! And the way the tail is fanned out, it reminds me of the lovely hand held fans that the pretty Asian women hold, or used to anyway. How fortunate you are to have been at the right spot to get this little guys photo! And the leaves, the colours, as per usual, are perfect in the au natural fashion!! John, you amaze me, as by now you know very well, your creations are true works of art. I hope you can "find" more little kritters too, like the little squirrel and the racoon...thank you ever SOO much!! Verena

Life is like a grindstone.Whether it grinds us down or polishes us up depends on us.

One can see from the look on his face that he is up to some mischief! Sharp and clear with an unusual perspective - Great shot, John.

Splendid John, the colour contrasts and the softness of its feathers make it beautiful, plus his mischievous expression.
