We do not get Blue Jays real often near our home in northern Minnesota, and I enjoyed his colors against the fall leaves. I took the image with a Sony RX10 IV bridge camera at about 500mm (35mm equivalent). This is my first try at a post, so fingers crossed I did it correctly.😊

...and now that I posted this image I see that it is more appropriate for the sub-topic "Birds." Next time.

Yeah, they're not at all common that far west. They are very common here in Pennsylvania and they're here year round. I've probably photographed more Blue Jays than any other bird. I really like the coloring, and they have no blue pigment in them at all.
You got an excellent photo of a really pretty bird.
