Neighborhood bullies for sure, jays are still one of my favorite birds because of their raucous call, gorgeous coloring, and pointed head (except for the coloring, pretty much how my wife describes me!). I even et a kick out of how they consume peanuts in the shell, pecking the shell away on one end and extracting the goodies one at a time. The way you've captured him here, slightly out-of-frame and behind a blurred branch, makes it feel like we've snuck into his private world unbeknownst to him.

Your window studio is producing some outstanding portraits Tigz. For some reason they make me think of Eggray.
"Can You Hear Me Now," comes to mind when I look at his pose.
Extremely well framed.

He wants to stop the others from sharing the.feeder. A selfish bird but a nice capture of it.

Beautiful capture - I hear their raucous calls every morning if I go to the car. I know they are not "nice" birds but I do think they are beautiful and you've captured him well.

Another beauty of a capture. They have all been so good. The birds really stand out using that muted background. Terrific work.

To bad that one branch is in the way but over all this is wonderful!! What a beautiful bird. My wife has 2 feeders in our back patio area and she loves watching the birds eat and frolic!! Great job Tigs;)

Another excellent window shot...beautiful bird tho' another noisy one...this one looks like he's ready for a nap, lol.

This capture is excellent, the composition gives one the sense that you are actually right there, looking at this beautiful bird. Startling details, color, a precious photo. Favorite.

Just love blue jays

We have Blue jays here in Florida along with a whole host of other local and migratory birds. I have heard bad things about jays though. Nice captured of this Ave.

They are beautiful birds and I love to get a photo of them. Glad you captured one. When I was a child on the farm they used to rob us of our cherries on the tree.
