What a handsome bird. I have never had the pleasure of seeing a Steller's Jay in person. Is this Mrs. Steller? I love the mix of colors - wonderful!

A juvenile House Sparrow
This guy landed on my window sill today and spent several minutes calling for its parents. I was able to approach it closely whilst the glass was between us such that I used the camera to hand, a Panasonic G1 with 45mm, f/2.8 Leica DG Macro-Elmarit. It took fright and flew across the lane when I went outside armed with the 100-300mm lens.
A typical view that the parents would have of a hungry youngster showing how the yellow gape forms a target at which to aim a beak full of food.
As usual there is minimal post processing in Bibble Pro 5 with no cropping of the image from the camera.

What a wonderful opportunity Barrie - that little fellow may have though you were one of his parents the way he's opening his little beak so wide!
Fantastic close-ups!

Not meaning to slight the sparrow, but I just love your little woodpecker!

Serhan,
That Sparrow is going to wait a long time for that piece of crisp or biscuit to make a noise or move, unless its got a beady eye on you.

Wow, that bag is going to need some serious cleaning.
Was there a destroyed nest nearby that you rescued?

kohzema, what a amazing picture!! I also really liked the soft mystery of your first picture.
Dave, your little fellow might be a wren of some sort...I don't know the birds out your way, but the sepia turned out to be a nice touch.
