First Blue Jay...
The Blue Jay has been very difficult for me to photograph. Just when I have been ready to push the shutter, they are in the air and out of site. They are very beautiful but are also very aggressive and territorial. Groups of blue jays often attack intruders and predators. They often drive other birds away from bird feeders. The blue jay is also very vocal. It makes a number of different calls. I was very fortunate to find Blue Jays hanging around this bird bath in Eastern Nebraska.
Best viewed large.
