Blue Jay series

I hope I didn't scare the people who live in this house. I spent quite a bit of time with a long zoom on my camera stalking the birds in their yard. The result was this trio of images of a blue jay.

This picture I did crop to get in closer to the bird. He was in the shade, so 1/40 sec exposure, 5.7 aperture, ISO 200, auto white balance

A slightly different view and uncropped this time. He'd turned his head away from me, but it gave a great, full profile. Same details as the last, 100 mm focal length.

This one I also cropped just slightly to remove a distracting element on the left. I love how clear and crisp his silhouette is in this picture. 1/1000 sec exposure, 5.7 aperture, ISO 80
