This is such a funny picture..and yes, it does look as if Mama says he is on his own. Jays are pretty cheeky birds and like to fuss! Beautiful colors and feather details. the blurred background shows off the nice work you have done in presenting these two. Great picture!

This is such a remarkable photograph of these two incredible looking jays. I love the position that you've caught them and it's absolutely hilarious. The color on their feathers is absolutely gorgeous that blue is so beautiful. Thank you for sharing such amazing photography my friend

This is a lovely natural capture of parent and baby Jays apparently arguing although I think I prefer your back story. Very nice sharp picture presented here. Are these the same as blue jays?

This is really neat. It is telling a common story.
The colors on this bird is really pretty.
I have never seen this bird except for pictures but I hope to see it for myself someday.
Nice work!

Pat,
A beautiful stop action picture of the Stella Jay & the fledgling well able to feed itself hoping to get food from it's parent once more! Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques& sharp focus.

A good looking nature image posted here! Your fine, full and appropriate composition offers us an enjoyable view of that negligent parent and hungry chick. Colours, textures and tones are good. Exposure and sharpness are fine. Nicely done!

Beautiful--love such conversation pieces. It's also a funny capture :)) And the little one answered " I said feed me ! " Boldness must be a built-in character trait for this species. Fantastic capture ! Very well taken, framed, with spot on focus and a clean background.

this is really a wonderful stop action Pat; I like how the ault one looks at the younger one as if he says: you can cry, it is not my business; excellent sharp details as usual

Comment from Regina E.H-Ariel


A special picture for sure as these two animals have a composition and when we are able to feel what they feel like I do, and there is a defense from the little one, so it is a real special second you have taken this picture
your frame choice is again perfect, so all is in harmony - this birds have an outstanding color combination as well and sitting on a human-created place is the next great point.
a super presentation, from a fantastic angle and position - special and wonderful
