Info I've been trying to get a good shot of a blue jay (Cyanocitta cristata) for a long time now. They're very common where I live, but very wary of humans, so I mostly see them from a distance or at awkward angles. When I can get close enough, it's usually for a second or two before they fly away, resulting in nice but poorly captured/composed photos. Finally, in this case, my brief two-second opportunity allowed capturing something decent. It's not perfect -- there's a bit of a shadow there -- but I'm happy enough with it to give it a chance at FPC. :) all by — Rhododendrites talk | 20:37, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
