Blue Jayby *dove-51

DescriptionDetailsShare
I have several blue jays that are frequent visitors to the feeder this winter. This shot was taken through a window. They are very skittish, and take off whenever they sense the slightest movement. I have been trying to capture them forever. So far, this is the best one that I have managed to get. I hope you like it. :iconbluejayplz:

Thanks Mary-Anne. I have been trying forever; I always get a blurry shot, or "surprise" no bird at all in the shot. :giggle:

Beautiful shot Candace!

Try hanging a couple of bath towels from the top of the window.... use clothes pins to close them together,leaving a space for you to stick the camera lens through. then with the camera on a tripod, just wait for them to come back, sneak over and shoot your pics. I use white butcher paper to cover my back glass door, and shoot through a small flap of paper. I have a couple of flaps, depending on which feeder the birds are using. works just great! :thumbsup:

Thanks for the tip George. :clap: I do close the curtains (they are a dark color) and just leave enough room in the middle for me and the camera, but it would be a good idea to hang a towel up to block the top part of the window. I will give it a try. :iconxmaslaplz:

No problem Candace.This works so well for me.. only problem I have is the sun angle on my deck.I have to shoot really early in the morning or the light is blocked by the trees and the side of my house as the day progresses.

Beautiful shot. I tried my best to get a shot of one of these back in Oklahoma, they are camera shy.
