20140116 004 SERIES - Blue Jay.jpg

Ottawa West

Three consecutive images of a Blue Jay salvaging a dropped peanut.

Top image: With one peanut already in the back of its beak, the greedy Blue Jay grabs an other one.


Oops, it dropped the second peanut.


Sharp reflexes as, quick as lightening, the Blue Jay grabs the falling peanut.
