Your photographs are always stunning, and this is no exception! I literally said "WOW!" when I opened this thread. The detail is phenomenal.

How in the world do you get such amazing shots of birds? Do you sell them to magazines? They are so much better than many in Birds n Blooms. Amazing.

That's really sharp......great shot in spite of the fact that the bluejay is one of the meanest birds around!
