Bluebirds from my backyard

[Maestro]

They were fighting or really just being harassed by a mockingbird defending its territory, but they held their own. They even had a chance to swoop down a few times and grab a bite to eat thanks to all the worms in my yard. Now if they could only eat the grubs. :)









Here are two from last winter....

1. My dear Maestro!

Oh, these are nice!

Very vivid, and sharp...

These birds look as though they would fight anything!

I think I would have cropped your newest ones, though...

The two from last winter are nicely framed!

Thank you for sharing!

:hug:

4. Thanks Peggy

I actually did crop those new ones as well. ;) I feared going closer so as to lose too much sharpness.

2. These are so pretty, Maestro.

I don't know how you keep doing it. :thumbsup:

[Maestro]

3. Patience, luck, and some cooperation from the birds.

Mostly luck, oh and a little camera setting know-how and photochop skillz!

5. Here's another one

I cropped this one a bit more per Peggy's suggestion.



Fence post perch




And is one from last year with a light snow.

6. Wow! I haven't seen a Bluebird since I left the farm thrity odd years ago...

I'd forgotten how tiny they are, and how beautiful they are.

Thanks for the picts.

7. I just LOVE bluebirds, thanks for posting those

AFAIK, we do not have bluebirds in Europe, so feel free to post more anytime, I will enjoy yours. :hi:

8. What a pretty bird.

and your shots, as usual, are just gorgeous.

I swear, you have the best eye for these critters, and an envious ability to capture them. They're all great, and I particularly like the bird on the barbed-wire shot and the one on the fencepost from last year.

Thank you for these.

On a personal note - There's a certain little girl who is going to be just delighted with these, too. I've bookmarked the page to share them with her.
