I'm Jay crazy right now, I love the color and the animation, mixed in with a little morning light and a mocking bird or two made for a fun Saturday morning.

    We have scrub jays in Florida too, and they are a lot of fun to watch. Too bad they'll probably be extinct in our lifetime.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Gorgeous captures
    I noticed that pix 2-5 seem to be on the same branch and was wondering if you attracted the birds to the same location somehow. Great work with the background too.

    Great shots as usual Stevethumb.gif
    Seems like you got these guys competing with each other to pose for you.
    You should consider bribing then with just one seed at a time though (#3)rolleyes1.gif
    Anyway, looking forward to shooting with you soon man.

    The birds in this area love that branch because it's the highest vantage point, certain birds will go for the best vantage lookout, that happens to be that branch in this area.

    The birds coming in 80% of the time will go straight for that branch, now all I need are some studio lights:D
