The camera is setup on a tripod behind the patio doors. It is too cold to stand out on the deck and wait on a photo op for the birds at the feeder.
I snapped a few photos this morning and was excited to get three blue jays in one photo. That is not easy.
Often they want the feeder to themselves and don't play nice together. But I snapped a trio today. My day has been made. Doesn't take much to make me happy. The little things in life.
Hope you all have a great day. We have sunshine for now.

Oh wow, look at the beautiful color and pattern on their back. How gorgeous!
It is also sunny here, but cold.

@ScribbledAdNauseum I have several. For these birds, I have to stay inside and zoom, so I use my Nikon on the tripod.

brilliant capture fer certain! wish i could keep a tripod set'p fer such occasion. these're prolly family members? the matin' pair'n one 'f their offspring. that'd usually be the case here when there'd be more'n one with no fightin'.
i'm with ya, most thankful fer these lil thingies that bring me so much joy. we've sunshine 'n winds that keep 'ncreasin'. 'xpectin' gusts to 65mph by this 'fternoon.

That picture will definitely make your day. And you have found a smart way to capture them in pictures on a cold day staying indoors.

That is a great shot. I wish Blue Jays would hang around here instead of the non colorful birds we usually have.

It's a popular hangout for the blue jay crowd.
