It's been quite quiet around here and when I went to our local preserve,I wanted to
get some Flicker images but I couldn't. Instead,Blue Jay showed up and they
perched on a tree very close to me. Black-throated Sparrows are from my old files
and I took these shots almost a year ago at Joshua National Tree Park.
I'm thinking about going up there next month to do some star trail shots at night.
It will be freezing cold.

Hide, you have some of the best BGs I've ever seen on almost ALL of your photos. They are just a joy to view. Enjoy your trip to Joshua and getting them star trails. PM me when you go! Maybe I'll head down for a night and join you. I always wanted that shot with a tree in the foreground and the stars circling above!

Thank you,Conrad.

I've been wanting to do star trail photography and you can not
ask any better place to do than Joshua Tree Park. I've been doing some research about how to do it right but they say that the best time to do is after midnight when
air planes are not flying often in that time zone.I'll let you know when I'm going but where are you coming from? Sounds like a really long drive?

Thank you,Rob.

Yes, you're right that it's a Western Scrub Jay. I always confuse it with a Blue Jay.

Superb work--I miss my scrub jays since moving to the midwest--they're just great birds.

Very nice work Hide... we have Scrub Jays at our backyard feeders all the time, they love peanuts in the shell.

These are all lovely and very well presented Hide.

Hide,

what a beautiful set. You do have some stunners here.

Why is it that most So Californians all call the Scrub Jay a Blue Jay

I know that's what I was taught from the beginning & only when I got my first bird book did I find out that this is the wrong name for the bird.....

Love all the shots - but # 3 & 4 are my favorites.
