Something that I can say without a doubt is that I have never seen so many Bluejays in one place as I have seen over the last year at our house. Growing up I would see a couple here and there and when I moved just a couple miles away I saw none at all. For more than ten years there was not a single one in sight. Then we moved here a little more than a year ago and we have dozens. Literally dozens at a time. This afternoon I saw six or seven right outside our front door. But for the abundance of Bluejays I rarely get a good shot of one. They tend to swoop down and grab whatever there is to eat and take off just as quickly. Their favorite seems to be peanuts. So I have been experimenting by placing large amounts of them in one spot so I get repeat feeding and stand by with my camera to see what I can get. And it has finally paid off. I got some pretty good stuff and of course I am sharing one with you for today's view. To me this is a little soft but that's because I shot it through glass. And that was because it started to drizzle and I didn't want to get my camera wet.
