Baby Blue Jays - Update

Portsmouth, NH

I *thought* I'd be back to the Blue Jays a lot more this week, but the days appear to go a bit faster than planned.

They have almost doubled in size, but have not opened their eyes nor do they have any feathers yet. Mama Blue Jay was keeping them warm today, it was a tad bit chilly out and drizzly. I moved in for a few shots and got out of the way so Mama Blue Jay could come back and warm them up.

These shots of the nest have been with the 580EX on camera pointed directly forward with the diffuser down. There is not a lot of room to maneuver in this nest area and there is not a lot of light.

One good thing about the rain and mist was the spider webs, on my way back from the nest, I noticed a couple and took a few shots. I really needed to use the tripod and manual focus as only one shot (out of something like 50) was even closely in focus. It didn't make my PaD, but here's the link:
