Today's new bird picture, a common but elusive corvid of western North 
America.  The Western Scrub Jay is noisy and combatitive when safely out of 
range, and comes within range only long enough to grab the crumb that fell 
from your sandwich:

Alas, I had no sandwich so I got cloe the old-fasioned way: I waited and 
wached and melted into the background.

Technical stuff:  R8/DMR, 560mm f/6.8 with UET-R, shoulder stock & monopod.
ISO 400, no noise reduction.  Aperture: f/6.8, shutter speed: yes

All comments welcome.
