This one is also really nice Jerry, especially the fluffed-up feathers make the image for me ! Cheers, Hans

Nicely composed in great light. His plumage looks great. Our local bluebirds are looking a little worn. Thanks for posting.

Another nice Bluebird image Jerry. I have been looking for their return here, but haven't had much luck. Our temperatures have been a bit on the warm side this year and just started cooling off a little 2 days ago, so I hope they come soon. Until then, I can enjoy yours. sad

I didn't know there was such a thing as a cooperative Mountain Bluebird. I've found them to be very tough to approach. Good perch and interesting composition. Lovely capture of those blues. The area around the eye is just a bit soft and might benefit from selective sharpening.

I like this one two Jerry but I think I prefer the first. Both very solid Bluebird shots with a great amount of detail.
