The blue jays I photographed in our backyard through the window on a cloudy day November 3rd where the the ground was covered with leaves that had fallen after a wind storm. I inserted the Canadian geese in a layered composite from two photographs taken the day before that I captured 12 miles away, where I saw a flock of geese in a lot behind a warehouse. They were standing in tall grass (which is why their feet are not showing.) I did some erasing around the edges and resizing to make this composite. The geese were wild but I quietly walked up next to them taking small steps to shoot the pictures and they didn't display any fear.
