Blue Jay in the deep woods

[Rassie]

It was very hot out yesterday and all the birds were hiding in the shade, many of them with their beaks hanging open.

Ver nice Koos, the light on the face is neat.

Great light on the eye and I love how the ruffled head feathers add to the heat exhausted look.

Thanks, guys. I was initially in two minds about the mottled light on its face. Those highlights were hot and not easy to tame. Ultimately it turned out as good as I could have expected.
