At the Zoo : Blue Jay

This is not a captive bird, despite the title. I did shoot it at the zoo, so I thought it would be a bit disingenuous to just label it Blue Jay.
Nevertheless, I just managed to get a good shot of this cute little bird while wandering around on a backwoods path.

Nice shot, terrific DOF 
Quite a colorful fellow, too. Birds are so twitchy that it's often hard to get a shot like this as I'm sure you already know!

I got lucky; I wasn't shooting anything at this point. Just walking from one point in the zoo to the other. I noticed it, put the camera up and shot - and then it flew away. Luckily, the one shot was just perfect on the framing. Whew!
I love how brightly blue the feathers on his wingtips and tail are. Nice shot. Worthy of a national geographic article I'd say.
Hey, if they want to offer me a job, I wouldn't turn them down. 
Turn the job down, that is. Heh...
Few people would 
awesome shot i love how the background is blurred and the bird's vibrant colors are so bright 
Thanks for the compliment! Be sure to check out my Animal Shots diary entry to see the rest of my animal shots.

with my 16-bit color it looks like a painting
