Cruickshank Sanctuary Scrub Jays

IraRunyan

I revisited the Helen and Allan Cruickshank Sanctuary this morning and found these Florida Scrub Jays.

Found them in a different section of the sanctuary, which was a old yellow sand mining pit with standing water in the bottom. It is located by following the power lines on the east side north about 150 yards. Saw many bobcat tracks and deer tracks around that old pit............

Beautiful work with such small birds. Are you shooting with the 300 or 500 zoom? Most of the Jays are larger than life size on my screen.

Jim, I was using my Tamron 200-500mm lens. All but one of these shots were taken at 400mm, with the other one at 200mm.

I was using the Tamron because I was hopeing to spot one of the Bobcats that are on the property.

Great shots, Ira! The feather detail is incredible!
