Blue Jay, and Merry Christmas!!

[Daniel Cadieux]

This bold Blue Jay came to investigate the shelled peanuts that were thrown especially for it and its' buddies.

I also want to take the opportunity to wish all of BPN's community a safe and Merry Christmas!! May all your hopes and wishes come true on this blessed holy day :-)

Excellent image Daniel! I like how the perch runs through the frame, eye contact, details, IQ and composition. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
