Yesterday we had a lot of Blue Jays in the neighborhood. I watched them forage not only our feeders but all the yards I can see from the house\u2026whether or not they have feeders out. We are also getting Titmice everyday, and a few Chickadees and Juncos. I put up a thistle feeder yesterday\u2026hoping for some of the rumored winter finches. We shall see.<\/p>\n<p>Blue Jays are always handsome\u2026and they are prettier in a photograph than in real life. In real life it is hard to get by their constant fuss and bother to see the beauty. And it really requires a close view\u2026binoculars or camera\u2026to being out the subtle shades and the fine feather detail that make them more than a big noisy blue bird.<\/p>\n<p>Canon SX50HS at 1800mm equivalent field of view.
