I have tried to find out what kind it is but with no luck so far. If you get a chance could you take a look and see if you recognize it? http://squirrelqueen2.blogspot.com/2009/10/out-for-swim-camera-critters.html<br /><br />Thanks,<br />JudySquirrelQueenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00634513897599275287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3803801517332763895.post-7280847793639813062009-10-25T09:53:07.981-04:002009-10-25T09:53:07.981-04:00DJan: You sure nailed it.

They squawk all day. When I was watching the Canadian Jays, they didn't make a sound. But they were shy and flew every few seconds to a different spot, which made photographing them difficult.<br /><br />Jenn: Thanks so much. I love taking bird photos.<br /><br />Insanity: Yes, I love the macro of my camera for the detail it lets me capture, for sure!<br /><br />Bernie: Love your Canadian humor and heart, too, my friend!<br /><br />Judy: Thanks. I love trying to capture birds because many times they have "expressions" that are just too funny.<br /><br />DVM's Wife: Tell me about it! :-} We have about 5 Blue Jays that come to our feeders every day, several times a day and boy are they noisy! We have never had a Canadian Jay at our feeders, I have only seen them in the woods. <br /><br />Shelly: yes, the Canadian Jay has a sweet face and reminds me of a dove's face.The Retired Onehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02466803019073952351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3803801517332763895.post-4899266287298960332009-10-25T08:45:46.183-04:002009-10-25T08:45:46.183-04:00The canadian jay looks "Nicer" for some ...The canadian jay looks "Nicer" for some reason!Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17534904024320623895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3803801517332763895.post-44318625904894713152009-10-25T08:15:33.808-04:002009-10-25T08:15:33.808-04:00Those are great pictures.

I love their crests too..and some have really long "eyebrows" which gives them expressions that are so funny!<br /><br />Eva: Thanks! I love birds and I post a lot of photos of them in the winter, fall and spring.<br /><br />Grannyann: I know! I love the macro feature of my camera for that reason. You can get really close photos.<br /><br />Blushing: Thanks so much! Yes, the Blue Jays are a bit flighty. If you have corn on a feeder they sit longer to eat it and I capture them a lot this way.
