No visit to Algonquin Park is complete without the sighting of these famously tame birds of the spruce forests. Sort of like a Blue Jay-sized chickadee, they will come and feed in your hand when handouts such as peanuts are offered.
Canon 7D + 500mm f/4 II + 1.4TC, manual exposure, evaluative metering, 1/400s., f/9, ISO 800, natural light, handheld, setup perch with shelled peanuts underneath, small crop for comp, eye work including darkening of pupil and dodging of iris as these guys' eyes are often very "glassy", NR to BG.
