Having collected many images of Green Jays on my first two visits here, these birds were not a priority for my day's shooting, but I couldn't resist capturing this bird grooming behaviour. My third visit to Atascosa NWR in South Texas was intended to pickup images of a couple of the birds I came up short with on my second visit. But then I started meeting new birds and I stayed all day.

Description:

Having collected many images of Green Jays on my first two visits to Atascosa, these birds were not a priority for my day’s shooting, but I couldn’t resist capturing this bird’s grooming behaviour. This was my third visit to Atascosa NWR in South Texas and was intended to pickup images of a few birds I came up short with on my second visit, but then I started meeting new birds, so I stayed all day.
