It's beautiful. 😍 Almost every lens is less sharp in the corners, but here I'd guess you just have a very shallow depth of field, which is an attractive. But if you want more in focus you'll need to use a higher F-stop; the closer you are, the higher that number needs to be. Guessing, of course

Photographed 1 October 2026, a Red-winged Blackbird  is first at breakfast, bur a Steller's Jay wants to intimidate him. Blackbird's posse shows up, causing Jay's bullying to fail.

This morning's Hungry Jays! ... #BirdOfTheDay #BokehBirds #birds #wildlifephotography #nature
Steller's Jays are stellar! With dark heads and tailfeathers, and bright, iridescent blue bodies in between, they really stand out. Their cockatoo-like crest telegraphs their moods, along with their raucous calls. BTW, they are good imitators, and can sound like dogs, cats, other birds, and even machinery.

Nikon D7200  200mm f/5.6 1/640s  ISO 400.And away we go! Three Steller's Jays in flight, spooked by some warning call they are headed for the branches.  Nothing really happened but I took this as my cue to leave. 
I'm sure they cam back later.

Farm cat appears to be a #Caturday skeptic!
Maine Coon-ish farm cat, one of three such farm cats, seems very skeptical of the whole Caturday concept. Like, where's my special treats? He needs evidence.

Blackbird Morning! ...After days of dominance by Steller's Jays, this Saturday morning, the Red-Winged Blackbirds took over the place. #birdoftheday #pairs #wildlifephotography #nature #birds.
Photographed 26 September 2026, I knew the blackbirds were back at the farm from all the sweet songs (and a little less of Jays squawking). Jays are bigger and more aggressive but they do NOT want to be mobbed by Blackbirds!  So they kept their distance for awhile. Safety in numbers...

Morning meetup... #BirdOfTheDay #Corvids #birds #nature #wildlifephotography
Two Steller's Jays, photographed Wednesday morning, 23 September 2026, northern Oregon coast. 
Beautiful black and dark iridescent blue members of the Corvidae family, Steller's Jays are named after the German naturalist, Georg Wilhelm Steller, the first European to record them, in 1741. 

Steller's Jays are excellent mimics and can imitate other birds, squirrels, cats, dogs, chickens, and even some mechanical sounds.

Monday Morning First Bird... This is a very active time of year for Steller's Jays around here. They are first to appear every morning and dominate the scenery, although Red-winged Blackbirds and Eurasian Collared Doves give them some competition. #birds #BirdOfTheDay #wildlifephotography
The earlybird gets the seed...well, some of it. Steller's Jay, bold and blue, surveys its breakfast bounty.
Photographed 21 September 2026, northern Oregon coast. You get to see the morning collection as soon as I have time to sit down for coffee.

Oh well, it was a thought. We like mash ups like this and play them on a show on KBOO, which is a 50,000 watt radio station in Portland, Oregon. So if you do more, please poke me 🙂

Bird Couples' Breakfast --- Cropped from a single frame because these Steller's Jay pairs were just a little too far apart. #birds #wildlifephotography
Steller's Jay pairs at morning feeding, Thursday 17 September 2026. 

Fujifilm X-H1 Pro Negative Hi Steller's Jays. 17 September 2026, northern Oregon coast. It's difficult to tell the boys and the girls apart with the Pacific Northwest version of these Corvidae but I tend to assume the one standing guard is the male. 
This is a different pair from the previous frame. Both images were cropped from a single frame because these couples were maybe 10 feet apart.

The Joy of Food... and being first at the table. Steller's Jay, Monday 14 September 2026 #birds #nature #wildlifephotography
The bird is a Steller's Jay in the morning, exulting in the bounty of food which the day has brought forth. The Jay throws its head back to cram more nuts and fruit bits into its craw. Can a bird be any happier?

Breakfast Birds, Red-winged Blackbird and Band-tailed Pigeon (I think) #birds #BirdOfTheDay #ABCD & #RSTU Info in the ALT tag…
Red-winged Blackbird female and Band-tailed Pigeon, first at breakfast. Ident is tentative: I have a hard time telling Band-tailed Pigeons and Eurasian collared doves apart at this angle. The doves have more bulbous heads, though. Eurasian collared doves are also half the size of Band-tailed Pigeons but I can't tell that from here, without two together.

It seems okay. It stayed there and ate more seed after took the picture and eventually flew off. Idk why it looks that way. We also have red tailed hawks around so who knows. This is annual molting season here, so I just assumed it was that.
