Grey Jay 2

Thanks for the comments on yesterday's photos of grey jays. This morning I am uploading others taken during the same photo shoot. It was interesting to watch them fill their beaks with food, swallow, then regurgitate and take a little more before flying away. They didn't go far because in no time they were back again, repeating the process over and over until the food was gone.

Tomorrow I plan to start a new series of photos from my recent trip to Europe and Asia.

I lived in Holyrood nearly 20 years before gray jays showed up around my home. I had seen a couple of these interesting birds near one of the lakes I hike to every year, but it was a couple of years later when they actually showed up to my bird feeders. Needless to say, they have been here all year round ever since.

In early September my wife put a pie plate with some leftovers on our deck and within minutes a family of grey jays showed up. I got my tripod and set the camera up in my doorway (around 9 feet away) and made images of them as they ate.
