    Default Florida Scrub Jay

    After much searching I have found a location to photograph the Florida Scrub Jay. After spending time with them I seem to be gaining their trust. At first they were just fleeting streaks of blue, now when seen they act naturally feeding, interacting with one and another. Before the question is asked, I did not feed them or bait them. I just quietly spent time watching, waiting as they came closer and closer. This bird is so endangered in Florida from loss of habitat. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

    Me too! Looks about spot on to me even though I don't know the species. Like the amount of vegetation included.

    Nice reward for your patience. Looks like our Western Scrub Jays. I could send you a box of them...

    Maybe a little more midtone contrast in the head and neck area?
