Florida scrub jays

They are on the endangered list. On reason may be (I am just guessing) is that they are so friendly. They will come in close, hoping you will feed them. If they don't get food quickly they will sit on your shoulder or head.

That third shot is a killer, superb detail.

nice set with impressive feather detail

I remember shooting them with Jesse (the Bittern whisperer) and Alex....Jesse held peanuts in her mouth and the scrubbies would fly over, hover, and grab the peanut. I wonder if Alex remembers

As Randy said, awesome detail. Most small critters that don't fear larger carnivorous ones have a bleak future.

The detail on these is just incredible! The selfie is the frosting on the cake!

Pretty close. After a few minutes they left, realizing I guess that I did not have food.

That third shot is a killer, superb detail.

Quite pleased with the camera lens combination.

True and sad

i have a sense of humor.

Nice, were these on Merritt? People should not feed them. People will never stop feeding them.

I agree on the feeding - these were in Rockledge.

Best place to see them.

I go for a walk there each time I am in the area. It reminds me of Melbourne when I lives there 60 years ago.

It’s been said before but I’ll tack my opinion onto them as well; the detail is superb on these. Such clean shots. The selfie was my favorite though haha. That is a whole story in and of itself!

I remember that day Randy. That was in 2009.
That was awesome. Still have the pictures.
