Blue Jay and a Gray Squirrel

Blue Jay

This morning I walked around my office parking lot to find most of the usual suspects, but very few were willing to come out and pose for a photograph.  This morning, it was really the Blue Jays that were most willing, and so I decided concentrate on them, since I don't know that I have ever really tried to get a good photo of a Blue Jay.
