I have been trying for over a year to get some decent shots of the threatened Florida scrub jay. I finally succeeded. Surprisingly, they seem to be very trusting of humans and I enjoyed my time with them.

Have fun,

Phil

    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!"

    Thanks everyone, I really appreciate your comments.

    For the record, I have two favorites. I liked the lighting on number two, and number four was just a cool shot.

    Have fun,

    Phil

    I like the first. I'm not sure, but do I see your reflection in its eye?

    Good catch, yeah, that's me standing there trying to get the bird to say cheese.
