I know when these Blue Jays are coming to my feeder -- they call out as they soar in. I keep my camera and tripod by my family room window so as to make the most of opportunities to get what publishers request as "animal portraits."
I'm with you on the second image. He looks like the Evile Ruler of the Jays and Chief Procurer of Food Goods for the Jay Nation.
One of my favorite birds is a Jay. I think they are Grey Jays but we always called them Camp Robbers. Those doods are fearless. We'd sit real still around the fire when Elk hunting with our plates on our laps. Those guys would hop right up and scarf down whatever appealed to them on the plate. Gotta love em.
Actually, Doc had surgery on his right shoulder this week; he became completely ineffective in recent starts, walking and hitting batters. It is not known if he'll ever pitch again.
Bummer and possibly tragedy for the once best pitcher in baseball.
Now if I could just get a number of other species to let me know when they're on their way in
A Jay a day Keeps Mac gay....
(1950's meaning of the word gay)
Really wonderful close up Mac. I can see the birds down feathers.
I love the second photo, he must be contemplating if Mac is going to give him some extra food.
Well Mac, are you!!!
Not only extra food but I contribute to his 401J (Jay).
LOL, good one Mac..

Now that is funny.
I didn't know they had whiskers. Kind of resembles a Soul Patch in the last shot.Great shots A Mac.
Love them Blue Jays!!!
I'm sure Doc Halladay didn't have that problem, because he perfected his technique with the Blue Jays, then he migrated South as so many birds do.

How beautiful! You capture birds so well, Mac.
Damn, that is one hell of a lens!
I have to admit, I much prefer your photography untouched, as in not altered in color.
"Damn, that is one hell of a lens!"
...combined with one hell of a photographer.
I didn't want to swell his head, larger than it already is Buzz!
LOL
