These were shot in the Albuquerque area in December of 2007 with a 40D and 400 5.6. I hope you enjoy them. C & C always appreciated. Steve

I like the greasy duck! Scrub jays just facinate me. I have these guys in my postage stamp back yard. They are quite the characters. I love how they try to fit as many nuts in their mouths as they can. Great job on them. Keep them coming. Maybe we can have a scrub jay war! Jeez I need a better background..

Nice shots Steve,

interesting that the Scrub Jay has a ring tag on it's leg.... Haven't seen that before on one.

Love the bunny shot- - perfect camouflage

Beautiful captures, Steve. I particularly like the detail in # 3. I also believe that the bg in # 4, and 5 is not really detracting from the subject for some reason. The last shot is too cool.

Steve, you have a very expressive scrub jay there, and I love the expressions you captured. #3 is my favorite becuase I like the background best in that one. Thanks for chasing the jays around and posting these pictures!

Very nice images Steve, I especially like the water on the mallard shot and the scrub jay is beautiful.

Thanks Tim, That was a slick duck! I don't get to see many Jays - they do seem a little greedy! Steve W

Cris, Thanks, I saw the little guy in the weeds as I was starting to load my truck. He or she appeared a little pre-occupied.

Lil, Thanks for the nice comments. I don't have any information about the band - only Jay I have seen with a band. Steve W

Socrate, Thank you for the nice comments. The background in 4 and 5 was the lunch bush for the jay.

I deleted a half dozen of the fellow behind that background! Steve W
