This Stellers Jay is looking to steal Uncle Abert’s (in previous post) seeds and peanuts. He perches in a ponderosa pine nearby and calls his friends to the feast. Then, he lands on the low junipers or an old fallen tree to get a closer view of the seeds I’ve spread on the ground. He’s not fond of me or the camera, but if I am still and quiet he will stay long enough to pose for a few shots.
Canon 30D with 70 – 300 lens at about 200mm.
