This is awesome, Glenn! A perfect balance of the best of set-up shots and environmental. A cool species, too.

Hey Glen, I like this!! Pinion Jay on pinion pine cone. Great detail and BG. They are loud & proud with attitude and you captured it."Down in Oregon"
would be " up in oregon" to me. I see these guys often in northern Baja Calif. Great capture!!

Glenn, I really looked for something to nit - but it was a dry hole. Bordering on perfection, IMO.

I don't know how I missed this.. I think I had my head in a lava tube or something. Very nice, Glen and congrats on the EP

Glen: I'm not a bird guy but this is a wonderful capture. The perch and BG are the perfect complements. Very well done.
