Brighter Shade of Blue

My Universal Rule of Photographing Pinon Jays:

1. Pinon Jays are splendid when they are in flight.  
2. I am always driving when I see a Pinon Jay in flight.
3. At such times, my camera will be on the car seat beside me with the power off and the lens cap on the wrong lens.

So... a guy learns to think...

No, it's not the best picture.  Yet it is a picture of Pinon Jay in a Pinon.  

Habitat matters, thus the bird in its namesake tree.  While a bird soaring in the sunlight with its feathers bluer than the sky would be nice, it is out of context. Pinon Jays spend most of their time in Pinon Trees.

I'm happy to catch one of these guys at home.
