Beautiful image!
Thanks so much, Indah!
Ah, Eliza, one of my favorite birds. Sadly their populations are way down around here, due to 13 years of exceptional drought. We had rain this year, so maybe they will come back. I miss them. We have the mountain bluebirds and the western bluebirds, which are almost identical to the eastern. Thank you for this beautiful photograph that fills my heart this morning.
Thank you, Mary. I’m glad this happy guy gave you a lift today. 🙂
The bluebird of happiness!
Indeed it is! My thoughts exactly. 🙂 They seldom visit the yard and it is always a thrill when they do.
Lovely
Thank you, Mary 🙂
a lovely photo — it would be fun to hear this bird’s song too
Thanks, Ellen. Your wish is my command! 😉 http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Eastern_Bluebird/sounds
Lovely bird!
Thank you very much, Victor!
Oh he’s stunning!
Thanks, Maria. The bluebird of happiness has come for a visit! 🙂
What a cutie pie 🙂
Thanks, Val!
The glad bluebird of happiness! Beautiful.
Thank you! 🙂
What a pretty little bird – the blue is SO bright! I don’t think I have ever actually seen a bluebird, not that I recall anyway. I just checked your bird website and I see that I could have seen a western bluebird, had I been paying attention.
Yes, their blue is very bright and their song is delightful. 🙂 I am always happy to see them.
How wonderful.
Thank you!
Such a gorgeous color Eliza, you capture the beauty in nature. 🙂
Thanks, Karen, I try my best! 😉
Oh so beautiful! I haven’t got a chance to attract one to my yard … or do I? I have to try. I saw a house that has a unique entrance that is supposed to be unappealing to house sparrows. I certainly have plenty of bugs and a “runway.” Cross your fingers! I finally saw a bluebird – it was in Florida.
They really like wide open fields best, for some reason (maybe they like grasshoppers?) and they nest in the neighbor’s fields. Occasionally, they pop over for a quick visit, always a treat!
I love the colors you always get in your images- such depth
Thank you, Kim! ❤
Ah, he is adorable Eliza!
Thanks, Dor. Bluebirds always make me smile.
What delights me is the contrast between the giant creepy skeletal fingers of trees and the vulnerable innocence of the bird with its lovely soft colors and brave stance. Wonderful photograph! Full of hope.
Thank you so much Albert for your keen observation and in-depth comment. Much appreciated! 🙂
