Blue Jay #2

Photographers Comments
The Blue Jays like to scare the little birds. Just before this photo was made The feeders were full of goldfinch. One of the jays mimiced a hawk and then two of them plopped down in the middle of the finches. They seemed to be laughing as the little birds scattered and disappeared. Then they were gone. I think they were just having a little fun. They did not eat any feed. They had been filling up on acorns all morning on the far side of the lawn.

a great belly laugh here!....whenever I start feeling blue, I go hang out with the animals and they have a way of giving you a different outlook. (seeing who can be the biggest 'A'hole can be so much fun)

Hi Frank, beautiful colouring on his wings and great detail. Well caught

Hi Frank...such a wonderful shot of a bird who's name I know but I haven't really seen. Are they similar in behavior to the Shrike....they have very similar beaks and faces, although the colouring is different.

Very sharp detail and good DOF!

Another fantastic bird shot Frank. Colour and composition so so good. Detail and depth of field have the big thumbs up from me buddy.
