Steller

For a whole year I have tried to grab a photo of this steller bird. I first saw a Steller's Jay working in the Columbia River Gorge and immediately became enamored with their fabulous display of blue feathers. Until recently I never found any willing to be near me and my giant lens long enough for a picture. Apparently at Trillium Lake, this is not the case. I had several buzzing around my head this morning to keep me company in the cold.

GREAT shot. The colors on this one are amazing!

Thank you Chris! They are such a colorful bird with dark and bright blue hues. Very noisy as well ;)

Beautiful bird! Maybe i would leave more space on right side and more space at the tail of the bird! But i like it that way too 😃

Thanks for the feedback as I look to your shots for inspiration! I can see how that could benefit the frame. Appreciate your input.

Daniel my spellchecker says Stellar ;-) !
