I have been very busy at work lately (including weekends) and consequently haven't posted much recently (feeling very guilty about that!). My daughter has been very interested in the Blue Jays that frequent the peanut platform feeder on my deck and is now responsible for keeping up the supply of peanuts.
Last winter I spent quite a lot of time taking pictures out my back door of birds on my feeders but haven't taken of birds at home for some months. The Blue Jays and Common Grackles pictured here have been such frequent visitors that I thought it worthwhile setting up and waiting. So, while hiding behind the drapes I put my camera on my tripod and waited. Here are the results.
For anyone interested, I used fill flash on the grackle but not the Blue Jay. The Blue Jay was the first shot I took and I saw it needed the fill flash so used it on subsequent shots. I used a high-speed-sync to get these shots at 1/400th.
