gdn blue jay DSC 7441

A blue jay ( geai bleu ) waiting for peanuts in the garden. They turn up in autumn and spring and compete with the squirrels for the peanuts we put out. They are remarkably alert. I saw one fly from a tree about a hundred yards away the moment we put out the nuts. Once one bird finds the treats they call loudly to attract all the other jays in the neighbourhood. The squirrels don't have a chance- if you snooze you loose.

A great capture, As you say they are incredibly quick to find the peanuts but also very shy , the slightest move even inside the house in front of a window and they are gone.
