He seems to be eyeing something. The Jay really stands out against the brown background. Lovely shot, Sandy. 🙂

Wow, Is that seriously a bird? Its feathers are like a blue patchwork quilt. Just stunning.

Great shot and poem, Sandy! 🙂 Not a Jay ever seen in our area. Not many regular Blue Jays here either, as a lot of them got hit bad by the West Nile virus (which they are very susceptible to).

Thanks, Tom. We see these in Colorado. We just have regular Blue Jays in NE.

So I am curious if you have a powerful zoom on your camera or do you get crazy close to these birds you capture? This is another amazing picture and poem!

My ‘go to’ lens is an all-in-one 16-300mm. That allows me to get pretty good images of birds most of the time. There are still many that end up being out of range.

I’m lucky to have it. I really like the 16mm wide angle for landscapes, as well.
