    As averse as I am to bluejays and their hair-ripping ways, I have to admit that they are handsome creatures and that these are stunning captures.
    Especially the middle one, it's epic!!

    We have lots of blue jays here but they never stay long enough in one place to get a photo - at least for me. Maybe all your snow slows them down. These are super shots.

    Oh my, these are WONDERFUL! The flying shot is amazing, his wing tips are just touching the snow and the wings are fanned out so beautifully! And the first shot is so perfect, I love his eye! A splendid series!

    I think a peanut would be like hitting the jackpot for a bird.
