Nature Backyard Friends

Backyard Friends · 03:51 PM

Finally received my 6X7 to K adapter. The first one I got from KEH but they sent the wrong one (6X7 to 645) and didn't have the right one. Returned that. Got one from Fotodiox, less money, works perfectly.
Since I have a couple of 6X7 lenses, I wanted to be able to use them on my K5.
Anyway, this is one of my backyard friends. This particular Jay is quite tame and will snatch a p-nut from my mouth.

Is that a scrub jay? Nice capture.

Crisp and clear, glad you got your adaptor all setup and able to use it on the K-5. I grew up in CA and that is what we called blue jays, but I have been corrected that these are indeed scrub jays. I call them annoying sometimes when camping in the forest, but you got some good closeups.

Thanks for the comments.
I forgot to mention that I had also previously ordered an adapter from B&H, but after 3 weeks they still did not have it in stock.

Yes, Scrub Jays here in SoCal low lands. The kind we had when I was living in Oregon were Stellar Jays. The ones with the top notch. The Stellars are also up in the Sierras and in the local mountains in SoCal. Maybe it's an altitude thing?

Nice work! I love those Scrub Jays, although we don't have any here. Our Jays do like the peanuts...they rob them from Otis every chance they get!

Regards!
