Blue Jay

After our recent snowstorm in the Mid-Atlantic region (13.5" total in my area) I was finally able to get out yesterday and photograph some of the backyard birds. I have a few snow images but I will save those for next months theme.

Canon 7D, 500mm f/4L, 1/640" @ f/9, ISO 400, manual. About 90% of full frame and I removed some bird droppings from the lower right of the perch. A feeder is near-by.

That's fantastic Duane - the colours are superbly rendered.

Cheers.

Nice BG and detail and agree regarding great job on the colors!

Maybe a bit less room at the top and a bit more on the right.

Great pose, light and background Duane. What is not to like ?
