    Windoze: A great shot, I am just getting into birding and would you tell me how you took this shot. Distance, lens, etc. Thanks, I enjoy your work.

    1st of all you are very kind with your comments...
    i used the canon 400 mm f/5.6 and it was very sunny. i shot RAW. I was standing about 15 feet away. I knew that "eventually" the Jay would land there - i waited about 1 hour after i recognized its call. I used the burst mode to make sure i captured at least one good image.....
    most of all i prayed before pressing the shutter...

    What attitude!
    Wonder if the bluejay heard your "burst" mode?

    Hey, great shot anyway!
