Blue jay, citizen of south-western Saskatchewan; I like the sparkle in his eye

That's one scruffy bluejay! Oh, I forgot, he's from Saskatchewan. That the place with the Roughriders, right.

Boy, that would be a lot of duck soup. Cute.

He does look a bit seedy, doesn't he? The Roughriders haven't been stellar this season, so maybe he's just too bummed to comb his feathers and generally spruce himself up.

He better spruce up if he flies up here to the game. It's looked pretty uncertain with the Esks so time will tell. You guys showed up in the second half last week and it was interesting. Lots of Saskatchewanites as usual.

You make me envious getting out so much shooting!

Common Tern

Very nice picture. I really like the soft light on the tern and way the blurred out background isolates it.

As they say, one good tern deserves another..... but unfortunately, my picture has some banding in it.....

It's always so annoying to see them ringed. Some of these ringers are obsessive.

He looks so forlorn! Very nice.

Click, I second the motion to post more pics!

I can tolerate the banding if it's delivered in good humour!
