Male Eastern Bluebird

Corinth,MS

In a dogwood tree in our front yard.
At first, I thought I was beset with chromatic aberration, but when I looked at the dogwood stems later, they actually are a little red this time of year.

Beautiful little bird, never seen one personally only images like yours.

Terry, they are increasing. In the 70's they almost disappeared. There are at least 4 pair on our front yard are...

Hal: Thank you very much. As you know, I have a fee more of these, a bit more unusual
Will have some interesting raptors as well. Since my Leica is getting a tune-up, it will be all Canon for 4 weeks or so....

This is really lovely Michael.
A dramatic change from your raptor photographs.
Beautiful image.

You are right Terry.
I have one for later this week that is not cropped as tightly, because it has both male & female. It'll be obvious who's who. I actually shot this through our bathroom window...

They are such pretty birds. I rarely see them here in Wisconsin. Lucky you to have them in your yard.

Nice capture, Michael! Don't know how common the Eastern Bluebird is there, but its a real treat to see it! Looks like quite a crop to get this image - nicely done.

A little gem and a fine shot, very artistic
