One Pair
The eagle numbers have been small, though I guess most people would be happy with 150 to photograph. Last year we had 500+ in the area. Saturday the eagles were working well, today they had gone somewhere else. I went back to the small birds in flight. Caught this pair of Jays, liked the contrast in position between them. I also shot from different position and liked the BG better. Seems like the Jays and Sparrows come out better don't seem to be able to get as nice a exposure on the Cardnals. well something to work on.

Super nice colors here. Very crisp too.

Nice catch, Kendall...I really like the interaction between the Blue Jay and the Starling, with the Jay appearing to be ready to go after the Starling. Exposure is spot on.
