First Visit

Posted by Bill Ault (GBA, Canada) on 16 November 2008 in Animal & Insect.

New feeder on the railing of the apartment's balcony and the chickadees, nuthatches and even the Blue Jays have stopped by. Not as sharp as I'd like but considering it was shot from about 20 feet and through the patio glass door it turned out okay...

I think its a pretty good capture, wonderful colors on the Jays, I think there my favorite bird, not that I often see them

@JJ: That's too bad JJ after a couple of weeks I've got a half dozen of them visiting regularly... I'm sure to have some more photos of them so check back often ;-)
