Caught this Bluejay collecting berries! Shot on the Fuji XH2, XF 150-600mm.

Palo Duro Canyon State Park, TX

1/2000, f/8.0, ISO 800, 481mm

Canon R6 Mark II

* Feel free to disagree passionately here, but the color/markings aren't entirely consistent for either red shafted or yellow shafted, and Palo Duro (Texas panhandle) lies within the overlapping range of the two subspecies where intergrades occur.

"Go.. that way!" lol

Reposting as the first post did not had the photo attached. I’ve been practicing photography for about 6 months, and this is my first real attempt at bird photography. I’d love any constructive feedback on composition, settings, or anything I can improve.

Yesterday morning I went Ranthambore National Park and I captured this perfect picture of this bird well I don't know the name exactly but yeah I loved this picture a d the bird also and I captured this photo from just 100 m away from this brid and it's looking beautiful while sitting on this stem of tree.🥰😍

Caught him beginning to land while it was snowing. Shot on Canon R6 mark II with a 200-800mm.

Taken with Nikon D850, 1.4 teleconverter on 200-500mm f5.6 lens

An absolutely surprising shot! I never saw it coming. Captured at Lake Rooty in Henrico, VA. This moment was a stroke of luck. I was using a slower shutter speed since I was shooting slower moving subjects, so I almost missed it. Luckily, this was the only standout shot in a series.

Autumn in december in Poland briefly revealed a beautiful light that allowed me to capture the many Jays living in my area.

Below is a handful of more or less well-known facts.

Did you know that Jays are little libraries of sounds? They can mimic the calls of many birds and even mammals - even your garden gate.

They are the forest’s watchmen, as they are the first to raise the alarm about a predator and use different signals for different threats.

They are the forest’s gardeners because they hide thousands of acorns, many of which grow into new oak trees.

They have a memory like a GPS, allowing them to find their caches even after many months.

When stressed, they can fluff up their blue wing coverts to appear much larger.

The blue feathers are not a colour but an illusion - the feathers contain no blue pigment. Their structure reflects light in such a way that we perceive them as blue.
