I believe you're right about the ID - but in any event, I surely like the pictures!

Almost looks like an Eastern Phoebe. Almost. Never seen a female bluebird though.

Cant help with the ID, but those are some nicely detailed shots ED.

Thanks Keith. Thanks Mitch.

Mitch I actually thought Phoebe at first but the color doesn't look right. The grayish head and the blush on the breast leads me in the Bluebird direction. But I am open to other opinions.

Looks like a juvenile bluebird to me.

Keith, Mitch, Trevor, Joe,

Thanks to all of you for you input on identity and comments. I appreciate both. And I am glad you seemed to like the images. She let me reel off about 15 shots of her as well.

Very nice shots, nice soft light and colors and I agree, this is definitely a female Eastern Bluebird.:)

I agree - female bluebird. Juveniles this time of year will have spotted breasts.

Thanks Downywp and Rubberhead. I am glad you like the images and appreciate the confirmation of the id. The blush on the breast was so light that I really didn't even notice it until I got home and looked at the images. Up to that point, I thought it might have been a Phoebe.
