Blue Jay shots
These images were taken merely ten minutes ago, as i was outside barbquing dinner. A you can see in the one shot he is on the same white table that he was on in the image Peanut Thief. These are the original images They have not been altered in any fashion. This guy comes and visits us twice daily. He will often sit up on the wire you can see in the one photo and call to us asking for his peanuts. He will then sit and wait until we set them out and move about a foot away and then will swoop in and land on the table with us watching and take his pick of peanuts.
This first shot show’s him sitting in the tree watching me and appraising the peanuts
This second shot shows him on the white table ( same table and same bird as in Peanut Thief

This next shot shows him in flight just leaving the table and heading for the fir tree that sits near the table.

This last shot shows him taking off from the wire, heading out to his nest after hiding his latest peanut

This is the same bird as in peanut Thief. I will post these images to my profile at a later date These images were taken at approximately 7:00 pm July 27,08

Nice shots, Kel. I went to the Cornell Uni website ornthology dept and found that blue jays have been extending their range from the east to the west. Hopefully they will make it to the coast so I can get some photo ops with them too. Here is the link: http://www.birds.cornell.edu/AllAboutBirds/BirdGuide/Blue_Jay.html

Thanks David :) Really? I didn’t realize they are extending their range. Any idea why? Climate perhaps? Hopefully you’ll get a chance to photograph one as well. This guy has been affectionately nicknamed Mr. Sass lol. Thanks for the link i’m heading over there now to check it out. :)
