Slip of the pen, Sandy? This is a Western Bluebird. Nice shot with a really cool bg.

Hi Sandy
nice bird with a very nice background.
looks like critical focus was on the brown breast feathers. Head is a bit soft. The perch is a bit overwhelming for a small bird.
Curious about why ISO 1600 with 1/2500?

Keith, I am always set for flying birds. There is never time to change settings after they fly off.

Really nice pose for this Bluebird, Sandy. That muted green background is awesome. The head is tad soft on the larger image, but overall a very nice image.
