I'm Not Mad...I'm Blue

A few shots of our resident male Eastern Bluebird. This is the one I posted previously that has the growths on his leg, feet and nostrils. I contacted the Bluebird Assoc. and they feel it is benign and similar to a human mole. I think he was mad at me today as I had to ration his meal worms until I got the latest shipment tonight.

Thanks for looking,
Rose

Unbelievable IQ on these, Rose. You have outdone yourself this time.

Wow, beautiful shots Rose!

Do have any nest building underway there yet?
Our Missy just started her nest today!

Thanks Stan and Kenn...I appreciate your comments.

Kenn..They have their nestbox staked out but aren't building yet. It is still so early I hope they wait. Aren't your blues a little early?

Thanks again,
Rose

He looks peeved in the first and content in the second....lol. Love the second image the most.

whatever his problems may be, he is still beautiful. And you've done a beautiful job with the capture. I see lots of these around here, but they are never at the right level to get a really good shot.

Very nice captures, thanks for posting!

Rose these are gorgeous shots.....he does look rather grumpy in that 1st shot.

Simply stunning

That second shot is a winner...nice shooting!

Rose, those are beautiful shots. The disease is Avian Pox. If he has survived more than a few months, then he has beaten it. I think it's communicable though. You can Google about the disease. It's a terrible killer for most birds.

Really outstanding!
