Blue Jay
by Nduche Onyeaso
These birds are regular visitors to my front yard. The trick? Throw out peanuts and they will come, at least in Neptune NJ where I live. They are highly sociable, loud and flamboyant birds. Additionally they are very photogenic!
Equipment: CanonT1i, Canon 100-400mm lens

I am an MD. I am also an enthusiastic amateur photographer. I am particularly interested in birds and insects because I find them more challenging however any good situation is game for me. While I focus on shooting exceptional quality shots I believe the story a picture tells makes a shot! I currently live in Neptune NJ and have been amazed at the vibrance and plurality of wildlife at the nearby Sharkriver estuary where a high percentage of my shots are taken.

This is an absolutely lovely photo. This guy looks like he has designs on a snack just out of range of the camera…appears to be concentrating very hard. Thanks for allowing us in on the moment!

This is just an awesome shot, I liked your DOF and love the colour on that bird. The bird is so contrasting with such a beautiful blurred background. Thanks for sharing such a beautiful shot.

Good shot!

This is a stunning shot, I love the angle of the blue jay’s head, you can see the ? mark in his mind about which nut he’s going to go for next. Great clarity, and composition. Keep up the good work!

A delightful image of this gorgeous bird. Being from CA, I don’t get to see them – so it is especially nice to see your lovely photo.
Matt Hansen
Stunning. For how common they are, getting a flattering shot is not an easy task. Well done

…When I looked at this for the first time, I just knew I had to make it my Wallpaper !! I was also wishing I could reach out & hold that beautiful, precious creature of God in the palm of my hand. Thank you so much for capturing that sweet little bird on film so that I & others could share in the joy of looking at it…
