You didn't cut off the head, it just looks like he doesn't have one!

cropped - wind and cliffs where all these guys need for a fun time.

This is my first successful BIF photo, and I don't even care that it is "just" a blue jay. . Pure dumb luck. I was holding the dog's leash with one hand and the camera with the other. Love the backlighting, too.

For some reason Jays are excellent BIF subjects. They have more curl to the end of their feathers or something. Love 'em.

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.

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.

These little grebes are fascinating. They are the only ones that sink on the spot instead of dive. I love their haunting call too.

Thanks. This one was landing in a tree a few meters away. Too far to get a good shot but oh well.
