Don't particurally like this with the background onion burst, but following up on yesterdays post where the scrub jay was partially hidden by the branch. While this one is heavily backlit, you get what you can as 90% of the time they are in the heavy thicket of their scrubland habitat. That is also why they are endangered as the nutrient poor scrubland disappears and they haven't adapted to alternate habitats.

Along the river Kinglass, if I remember correctly. Looking east from Loch Etive.
Ok that doesn’t sound like a place I’ve been to. Places like these look so similar though.
You mean beautiful and stunning? I need to get out at some point and do some shooting!
Not in the UK at the moment then! I wish we got these over here.
There's always an attention-seeker in every crowd......
Star Trail picture I took a couple of weeks ago in Joshua Tree National Park. Taken with a Nikon D850 and 14-24mm lens.
200 shots at 30 seconds each, f/8 and ISO 1000

4014 BigBoy was in town, what a site to see.
The past couple days was of a Scrub Jay. This is their environment and the reason they are endangered. Notice the lack of nutrients in the 'sugar sand' soil and the very dense scrub vegetation which provides food and makes them difficult to photograph. The scrublands are disappearing with housing development the jays haven't adapted to other environments. While photo appears rural, this happens to be a preserve behind a public library.
I’ve missed a few days of posting. Glub glub.
