Description
Every Winter a blue jay comes to take nuts I leave. I call him the Blue Thief fav.me/d9npccmHe is very quick and I almost missed the shot. ... so here he is , a little blur and grainy, taking a shell peanut.

Thank you.
They are quick. He flies in, takes a nut and takes off. I am lucky I took a 5 burst of photos b/4 he was out of the frame.

Thank you ....
I had set my camera to get pictures of 'old Charlie' the squirrel that has been hanging around, when the blue jay entered the frame. I am surprised how many animals come to get nuts.
