In order to get the Blue Jays to stay on the fresh snow longer I was throwing the shelled peanuts to bury deep in the snow...this made the jays land and forage for the shelled peanuts rather than swooping down in a non-stop motion. This fella searched for a peanut for a while, but came up empty, thus took off. I was so happy when I saw the pose, and that it "appeared" to be sharp where it mattered, and that it was almost FF! Viewing it on the computer I did a bit of a fist pump when the sharpness was confirmed.
