Real nice capture. Where did you find him? Very diffrent looking bird. Well done.

This is the first Green Jay I've seen. Nice... How far from the Rio Grande was this? Good color and capture.

Great, Kim! I think this is one of your best.

 

By the way, how do you like that big Sigma? It looks awesome from this result. Are your biceps growing yet?

This is a Greenjay; picture taken in Orange Grove, about 40 miles from Corpus Christi, TX. We have greenjays in our yard, but we are in a wildlife photo contest, so can only take shots on this ranch for the contest. Luckily, they have even more birds than we do at home, so it's working out well. I LOVE the Sigma; I prefer it over the Nikon 80-400 VR!!! Definitely can't handhold it - it weighs around 4 lbs, I think. I use a monopod.

A very nice shot, Kim! Best regards, Ruud.

From the thumbnail, I thought this guy was wearing sunglasses. What is he, anyway? Nice, sharp shot.

Looks like you're getting some great shots from the ranch. . we don't see these jays up here. . the background coloration is perfect. .

Very nice. Great coloring.
