Curious jay, point blank range

[Steve Foss]

The blue jays have been absent from our feeding station and yard all summer until this morning, when five showed up and started gobbling seed like mad.

Not sure if this is a juvie whose feathers have not finished coming in or an adult in the last stages of refledging after molt.

Canon 30D, Canon 100-400L IS at 235mm, iso400, 1/320 at f8, tripod, just under full frame

Not the prettiest subject in the world, but nice framing and a good tack sharp capture.

Very nice shot Steve!
