Great stuff krob like the light on the egret and the American kestrel.

Rpt the yellow on the scrub jay pic is some kind of lichen, all our pacific nw trees have moss lichen or mistletoe it seems.

Pied Fantail (Rhipidura javanica)

A jay in my garden - made with my new 6D and 70-200mm 4.0 IS @ 200mm f/4.5.

What kind of Jay is that Pkin?

This is what would translate directly from Danish 'Skovskade' to English 'Forest Jay'.
Correct name will be: Eurasian Jay (Garrulus glandarius)
See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurasian_Jay

This was noted by Sporgon, too. Thank you.

This jay is rather shy, but as I feed regularly in my garden I have them as guests almost daily, and taking care to move slowly I can phtograph them through an open window.

I hereby add another one, that I got recently with my new kit (6D):
Kernebideren = Hawfinch (Coccothraustes coccothraustes)
aka 'The flying Nutcracker'
