Western Scrub Jay (Aphelocoma woodhouseii)

Blue and gray above, with a pale underside broken up by a blue necklace. In birds, the color blue depends on lighting, so Western Scrub-Jays often look simply dark.
I used a Canon 1D Mark III, Canon 300mm f/2.8 lens + 2x tele through a glass window, morning light. F/7.1, 1/640th, ISO 640

Kempner, TX

Scientific name
Aphelocoma woodhouseii
Equipment used
Canon 300mm f/2.8
I would suggest using flash, but as you were shooting through a window that would have been a disaster. :t:
