The birds on Cypress Mountain in Vancouver, BC are very tame as they have been fed by hikers for years. Guaranteed closeup shots if you ever visit. This one's tail could have had a bit more DOF but doesn't bother me too much.

Typical Gray Jay behavior. They seem to like visiting campsites even where there aren't many. The neck and cheek look a bit hot to me, Mark.
