Blue Jays

Blue Jay feeding

Typically one or two Blue Jays visit and bully the other birds. Shooting on this morning, there were a large number of Blue Jays visiting facing off with not only the other birds, but themselves.  

These images of the Blue Jays were captured using the Canon 7D Mark II with the Canon EF 100-400MM F/4.5-5.6L IS USM and the CamRanger on a tripod.  

What I love about the CamRanger is that I can adjust the focus, F-stop, and, trigger the shutter from my iPad or iPhone while sitting at the kitchen table drinking my morning coffee. The downside is that the camera is static, so if the birds decide to go to another location, rather than the one I've setup to shoot, then there is not much I can do. Inevitably after 30 minutes of no activity, I'll move the camera only to have a bird land where I was aiming 5 minutes before. 

Thanks for stopping by today!
