They are pretty birds even though not the nicest. Interesting about their eating habits. Thanks for sharing.

I love the Jays! What great character shots these are Sarah! The jay has a mocking little smile to me.

These are a great series. Sometimes the light is not always cooperative to give the best light and color and we take opportunities when they present themselves. These series was one of those times, but they came out really great as a lesson in blue jay behavior.

Thank you, katkase! Yes, it was a little dull that day. I brightened up the pictures a wee bit, but any more, and the blue lost its richness. :)

Thank you, Erv! Yeah, those Jays can empty a big feeder in nothing flat, especially when they tell their friends and relatives about the smorgasbord. :-D
It was a bit dark that day, though there was just enough filtered sun to make a light in the birds' eyes.
I've added a few more shots; take a look if you like. :)

I have five stellar jays been coming every day for two months now . they just keep coming non stop filling there cheeks up with black oil sun flower seeds .
and of they go they take away a 16 pound bag every week . I wonder if they
ever find them after they hide them . they eat the wood pecker suit I put out
in no time . so I made some upside down feeders . they still try but they don't
have the grip that the flickers and haired do .

They have an unflagging appetite, that's for sure! :)
