I have only captured a handful of blue jays, mine too through a window where I have my bath and feeder set up. This is my favorite. It reminds me of a what I imagine a Velociraptor would look like. I'm using a Z8 as well, with the 180-600 + TC2 for the 1200mm. Because I shoot a lot of airplanes at 40k ft, especially against the moon, I have had that combo on the camera since I bought it. I keep a 28-300 on my Z6ii for other shots.
