Jay at Puddle

Nice to get back snapping. Not much at the pools with the wet weather obviously not helping. The quarry I worked last year is a massive shallow lake and has been for two and a half months. If it stays like it - wil be a good migrant spring.

Beautiful bird, John.
I like the bg, the environment. And the perch is pretty nice.

I find the colors very impressive in this photo. To me the jay stands out nicely from its surroundings. Also like the low branch perch. Very good detail. Thanks for sharing. Hope to see more.

Hi John, you're right. Your Jay's are different than ours. I like them and you made a good capture of this one. Great details and I like the environment you have.

despite the fact that everybody seems to dislike them, jays are very beautiful birds.
another super shot John.

Hi John,

I like the image very much. Great details for 180th second. Yes, I agree the D7100 is a fine camera.
