I was originally stalking a Blue Jay when to my surprise I was photo bombed. Nice surprise...

I think that this is so cool that this happened for you. Now then, I wonder what would happen if you lessoned all of the yellow a bunch and played around with the whites and the highlights a little to make these photos really stand out? The reason I mention this is because the bird looks yellow also and they are such a neat bird and you have some cool foliage (and the blue jay) as the background. I know, I am being picky.

It was a fairly heavily overcast day and I was several hundred feet away from the birds when I got those shots. I used the Sigma 150-600 wide open so dof not that good. Maybe I'll try a little lightroom magic to brighten them up a bit... would have been really nice had the Jay been in focus. Oh well, shoot and learn.

Wow lucky you for those photo's as they say the right place at the right time.

Yeah, a little work in lightroom or the ACR in photoshop will do the trick. As for the blue jay being out of focus, I would not worry about it. It actually adds to the photo in this case.It was a fairly heavily overcast day and I was several hundred feet away from the birds when I got those shots.
