[squirl033]

went over the hills and far away yesterday, to shoot bluebirds in eastern Washington. still a bit early in the season yet, but there was still some good activity, and the weather couldn't be beat! here are a couple of the shots from the trip... will post more as i go through them all...

male mountain bluebird...



male western bluebird...



female western bluebird...

Wow, gorgeous color on those beauties! Thanks for sharing.

Very nice! The male Western is a beauty. I haven't seen bluebirds on Vancouver Island, ever. I think those in the know blame pesticides. They are slowly being introduced in the Cowichan valley, so hopefully I will have the chance to see and shoot some someday.

Absolutely gorgeous

Nice set!

Nice set! Up around Spokane, or the Palouse? Bluebirds up there bring on Spring fever that is almost terminal!

thanks, Brian! mountain bluebirds prefer open country, so it's not too surprising they're not found on Vancouver Island... hopefully, if they're being introduced into the Cowichan area, they'll decide that's acceptable habitat and come back...

Absolutely gorgeous

thanks, Larry!

Nice set!

Might check your health insurance is paid up if you are in eastern Washington and say Ellensburg is in Eastern Washington!
