jay.

This young Jay was happily enjoying the cherry until, just out of shot to the right, lands my resident Sparrow Hawk. All ends well with the Jay leaving with the cherry and the hawk looking for something more on his menu.

Sky replaced + added tree branches

The amount of nuts these Jays consume is unbelievable, I know that they swallow acorns but they are taking huge supplies of walnuts. The cost of a photo is getting higher.

Still trying to get the Jay and GSW together on the same branch. Better luck tomorrow.

Drop some seed, even in long grass and the Jay will find it.

I think he's spotted me.

Several Jays are now competing with the Woodpeckers for these Walnuts.

I know there is a nut in here somewhere.

This grand wing display the Jay is showing is due to another Jay coming in from above but just out of shot.

Yes I know it's another Jay but you've just got to love this character. Look at that face, what an expression, I am sure he is laughing at me taking his photo.

This Jay veered off at the last second and I managed a under the wing photo.

Jay on my new feeder.

The look on these two Jays faces does say a lot.

Although still some distance away, 45 yards, I managed several inflight shots of the Jays.

Looks like the breeding season has taken its grip.

Caught this Jay just as he turned his head into the sunlight.
