Gray Jay

Taken back in mid December in northern Minnesota. These birds are about the easiest species we have up here, they are so curious and come around looking for handouts from time to time.

Mike:

Excellent perch, exposure and angle in frame.
The overall image is sharp, but I might do just a bit more sharpening of the eye area.
Pleasant background.

Cheers

Randy

A very nice shot and I like the typical habitat of evergreen tree, cones and snow. I keep wanting to crop out the bit of branch on lrc. Nicely exposed and presented. Dave

Lovely perch and nice plumage details - a handsome beggar!

Great all around picture Mike.
Nice perch, bird and BG.

Hi Mike, that sure is a great looking perch. Excellent angle of pose, and just love the colours in the BG.
