Birding Wednesday 1: Scrub Jay Afternoon
Taken on: May 16, 2013
My old pal on the back fence. Usually I can only get shots of him hanging about the telephone wires above me but this time he unexpectedly landed a few feet away. Probably curious at this silly critter with the noisy box clicking away I suppose.

Birding Wednesday 3: Just a bit curious....
Taken on: May 16, 2013
My best shots of our neighborhood jaybird...he'd unexpectedly landed on the fence a few yards away from me, and I must admit I was rather startled to see him so close. I did manage to pop off a few shots before he flew away...needless to say they turned out pretty good.
