I haven't had much luck with blue jays yet this year. I do like this photo, but I know I'll get better ones in the near future.

The blue and yellow is beautiful. I love ‘peaking eye’ shots like this

    Watched two of these clowns wreck havoc in my bean patch a few days ago by ripping up seedlings! Beautiful but spicy little things

    The second one is quite nice.

    I never have luck with jays, either. It's like they know I'm pointing a camera at them.

    Thanks, they're both a tad bit soft, but acceptable. Yeah jays are smart and wary. I haven't built a report with them so they're skittish. Given enough time and frequency they will become friendly though.
