Also lovely! Makes me want to gently stroke his belly -- those feathers look so soft.

About 40 feet or so. This one is cropped about 1/3 of the original photo. I'm using a 300 f/4L lens with a 1.4TC (420mm). It was overcast yesterday and i had a really nice defused light.

Now it's past my bed I know
And I'd really like to go
Soon will be the break of day
Sitting here in Blue Jay Way

I think this picture could be even better than the first one of the blue jay, you are very good you know
