Gray Jay

I should have more decent photos of this species than I do. They are usually very curious and seem to just show up when ever I am in the woods. I was actually admiring the dead stump, there is a lot of nice lichen on the hidden side; I was thinking it would make a nice "set-up" perch for the backyard, when this Jay took a liking to it.

Nikon D4, 600 f4, 640 iso, f5, 1/1000, cropped to vertical, tripod.

Looks like he gave you a nice pose, too. This one is just stellar, Gary.
