    This Blue Jay's have started coming every day...I think there are at least 3 of them and I have only seen them all together about 4 times...they come and steal a peanut and then they are off. They are really fast at the feeders..if you are not ready...you miss the shot or it is blurry..

    Great pictures Sherry, I can always count on seeing beautiful wildlife shots from you! I don't have any bird feeders up this year as last year the squirrels knocked 3 out of the trees maybe I should put new ones out I miss seeing all the great birds around.

    Blue jays are such handsome birds aren't they Sherry? You did well to get such good photographs of them. I hope they keep visiting you daily from now on. :-D

    Such a pretty bird! :D I'm glad you managed to photograph it. I'd like to see one in real life.

    You managed to get great shots of them Sherry. I had the most Blue Jays ever today...15! They sure made a mess of the feeder but I love to see them.

    Those are nice pics, Sherry. I enjoy seeing your birds...they look so exotic as compared to out birds.
    Thanks.

    That is a remarkable beautiful bird Sherry. Lovely.
    I am glad you could capture them oncamera since you say they feed so quick. You got skill! 8)

    Palm tree...I am not sure if it is skill or just a lot of time to sit and try and get a good picture. Until the flower season begins around here not much to do...I can always clean but that isn't my number one priority these days....lol

    I've got lots of blue jays, usually 20-30 at a time. They are so beautiful but I don't like that they scare off the smaller birds. Fortunately the smaller birds keep coming back and they don't let the blue jays deter them. I love all the birds we get but my feeders are a little to far from the house to get good shots from inside and it's still too cold for me to venture out with the camera...but soon. Nice pics Sherry, thanks for sharing them.
