Steller Jay stuffing its beak

I see this all the time at Costco (I work there part time as a food demonstrator). Some are only there for the food samples and just gorge themselves. Very nice catch of this one. And they are really pretty birds.

You have captured the stance of the Jay,perfectly. The variety of his colors;and,too,how you cropped your work is outstanding,Alaska Pat(?). The peanuts,too,make this a still-life.
Cordially,
Joanna Bachman

Amusing cute & candid capture!!
Perfect timing!

I like to see her facial reaction with matching Mohawk hairdo!

Subtle colors & illumination.
Pin sharp focusing of a
Still motion shot!
Fine features & smooth fluffy textures.

Nice perspective & narrow DOF.

Thanks for sharing...

Great photo of this Jay with his mouth full! Great light with a nice catch light in the eye. It's so cute that they knock on your door to ask for food!

The Jay seems very hungry or greedy. The bird is nicely portrait. The details of his body and plumage and of the peanuts are well defined. The neutral background emphasises the bird and its food. The profile view is intriguing.
I appreciate the realistic colors very much.

a fantastic close up portrait pat of this very hungry steller jay, a bird we Don't have in our area; it looks like a cardinal with turquoise and blue colors;
excellent capture fro a low angle with sharp focus;
