Nice Mike, they look so close to the Eastern one we have here. They are my favorite of the song birds that visit our yard. They have such a calming sound.
Thank you Rob. I wish I could hear their songs. I lost so much of my hearing at a fairly young age, and unfortunately I'm unable to hear the songs of most birds. I never imagined hearing loss would be such a big deal.

You've captured that very nicely Mike
Lovely composition.
Fascinating colours that you've bought out so well.
Doesn't look much difference between this and Rob's magnificent Eastern as he also says.
Your very thoughtful, kind compliment is truly appreciated, Richard. I truly thank you.
Our eastern and western bluebirds are quite similar in appearance. We also have a mountain bluebird in the western US that is more noticeably different from its western and eastern cousins.
Many thanks, and much appreciated, Joe.

You are way too kind, Steve! But I'll take it.
I seriously thank you very much.
