A recent find in the backyard makes for a good subject. Native to North America, Blue Jays are colourful, noisy visitors at my feeders.

Love!
thanks, Debi!
Very nice shot!
It’s great that you are seeing (and helping) Blue Jays! They, like crows, have gone into a terrible decline due to the mosquito carrying West Nile virus. They are slowly building immunity.
Thanks, Thomas! I do love Jays. Glad to hear they’re building an immunity to West Nile. That gives hope humans will too.
You can’t fool me, this photo is of a lake in Alaska!
ha ha so right. you got me! 🙂
This is a lovely macro study. You’ve really captured the texture and pattern. I’ve been loving watching jays and other birds in my garden and I just bought a guide to help me identify them all. Blue jays are quite spectacular.
thanks! they are quite the birds – making all kinds of noises and fuss… I often hear them mimic hawks to scare the other birds.
Great detailed shot!
thanks, feathers are such great subjects.
