A blue jay at last!

A few months ago I saw a blue jay in our park, but it was in deep shade, far away, and I didn’t dare post the one picture I got. Today, however, one appeared right in front of me, still in the shade but not as bad as before. I was so excited I forgot to change the shutter speed for full zoom, but nevertheless I thought a few of the pictures turned out relatively OK.

This is exquisite! Great you finally got the shot, and one with such detail, and especially like that he has something in his beak.

Nice that you finally got the jay. The soft light helped to show the colors and I like that you captured the bird with something in its beak.
