Here's another one of those pictures where practice really helps. I have a Blind that I sit up on my Deck. This is about 10 feet away from the Platform Feeder. Then I watch the pattern of the Birds flying to the feeder. If you fortunate, you might get a picture of a Blue jay Landing like this  one. Hope you enjoy and may the Lord bless & keep you.

He is beautiful.

Thanks Judy. I just barely was able to fit him in the frame. He might look a little better if he were lightened also. Anyway, glad you enjoyed and may the Lord bless & keep you.

Yes see if you can lighten him as well. 

We have had jays around driving me nutz.  We have the puppies outside to eat and drink, and I wondered why the jays were squawking.  Here they were dive bombing the puppies going after the dog food.  It is an expensive way to feed the jays!

Blue Jays can help you or be your worse nightmare. They can help you find Hawks and even Owls when they try to chase them. They can imitate a Red-shouldered Hawk that drives Birds away from the Feeders long enough for them to chow down. Here's the picture lightened a tab. Hope you like it. As always thanks for the feedback.

Much better.  Fantastic shot he has just about landed! 

They are a very protective bird.  We had a "tribe" or "clan" or whatever one summer that wouldn't let our cat out of the house until the babies were out of the next.
