Florida Scrub Jay: Helen and Allen Cruickshank Sanctuary, Rockledge, Florida, USA. January 2025 — It was still cloudy and cool on Friday morning and since I was already down that way for a workshop I had been assigned, I stoped by the Florida Scrub Jay Sanctuary to see if I could find some Jays. I found a flock or family just about where I expected them to be and had a lot of fun with them as they fed all around me. Florida Scrub Jays have always been gregarious and unafraid of humans, and they have only become more so the protection of the Sanctuary. Sometimes the only trick to photographing them is to keep from stepping on them…though all these shots were at the long end of the zoom. Sony a6700. Tamron 50-400 at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my bird and wildlife modifications. Processed in Photomator.
