Mountain Bluebird

I haven't posted much lately but thought I would share this. I caught this little gal when the wife stopped the car to shoot a Kestrel. She didn't even see this beauty sitting there. After a short while she ducked into a nearby nestbox. I may be going back for more. 40D--100-400@400mm--f/5.6--1/400--ISO 400---ACR PS CS3

That's a beautiful shot -- crisp, clear, smooth BG.

Lovely shot, Thomas.

Nice shot

with a snack, nice shot.

Thank you all for the kind comments. I appreciate it.

She's a beauty Tom,

Interesting to note how similar the female is to her Eastern Bluebird cousins. The males are very different... nearly flourescent turquoise in color. If you do go back for more, I hope you can capture a boy bird too.

real nice photo,

Kenn

Great shot Tom. I really like the spacious composition on this and the nice warm tone.
