Marilynne, I cut the heads of birds too,, I think this should have been in the "almost photos"
They also usually warn you before they take off with a lot of screaming. We have a trio of them that fly back and forth across our lawn to the neighbor's and back. Lots of opportunities.For some reason Jays are excellent BIF subjects. They have more curl to the end of their feathers or something. Love 'em.
Almost in flight. These little guys only fly at night and will dive under the water if they get scared. I have seen them go under and come up 50 yards away. Anyway this fellow was just drying off.

Beautiful shot. I like the perspective[/QUOTE
Thanks. This one was landing in a tree a few meters away. Too far to get a good shot but oh well.
