Here's a Green Jay from our Santa Clara Ranch trip last month. I managed to get a few images of these guys in mid hop this time. Food provided for birds.

Very cool, Nate and an excellent job on the exposure of a difficult bird.

Thanks guys, Chuck the waterholes have a feeder with corn and sunflower seeds year round. For these guys we will add some peanuts and grapes as they are the jay's favorite food.

Love the hop Nate....I managed a few hoping shots, but none of the Green Jay, so happy to see someone else managed the shot. Love the light and fun image.
