I spent years being Blue Jay deprived, so I am really relishing seeing, hearing, and photographing them now. Having Blue Jays in my viewfinder is truly a joy!<\/p>\n

\"BlueBlue Jay giving a head on look \u2013 Canon R7, handheld, f8, 1\/80, ISO 1250, Canon 100-400mm at 400mm, natural light<\/span><\/p>\n

Even simple photos of these striking jays are a treat for me. This jay gave me a head on look at the end of last month. She or he did seem to be giving me the look<\/em> when I had them in my viewfinder.<\/p>\n

The jays here have been a bit more skittish since they finished raising their young; I\u2019m really not sure why. That does make them a bit harder to photograph, but I\u2019m up for the challenge.<\/p>\n

I believe that once colder weather settles in and food becomes scarcer, the jays will lose some of their skittishness. They behaved that way in my garden in Virginia.<\/p>\n

In the meantime; I’ll simply enjoy having them in my viewfinder whenever they offer me the chance to take their photos.<\/p>\n

Life is<\/em> good.<\/p>\n
