I took some photos of bluejays in my side-yard this morning and thought this one looked funny. I wish the focus were a little better though. He shook his head and everything on his head except his eye got motion-blurred.


Here's an ok shot of him:

Hah, that "headshake" shot is craaaaazy! I don't know what you've got here... it isn't a jay, however. More likely a species of bluebird, but I didn't find anything that matches in a quick search.

Ya, I'm not sure exactly what they are, as a real bluejay I think are bigger with a crest on their head (we have those up further in the mountains). These are all over here in Los Angeles.

thats some limber bird to be able to rotate his head around his eye ball like that

Cool pic. Not a typical bluejay, but rather seems like the "coastal californica" Western-scrub Jay, as pictured here.

Yes, it's a Western Scrub Jay, we saw all the time in Southern California... Which, I now see, is where you are, so that's what you've got...

That second one is very good, nice and sharp. What lens were you using?
