Morning bluebird couple

Gallery: AvianPosted July 4, 2017114 views4 comments

I was watching the male bluebird for a few minutes and suddenly the female arrived. He began preening himself and almost looked like he was dancing for her.
Taken July 2nd at the local prairie reserve. I did have to clone out a few branches from around the birds.

Happy 4th to all of you.

Nice to find the pair together Brian. As John stated in his post above the LP is not showing, so it's hard to see the image quality and detail in the bird from this presentation-a larger file would be helpful.

Very good poses, Brian. Our bluebirds haven't been that cooperative yet this year, but I still have hopes. Your large image still isn't for some reason, but detail and exposure both look good at the size presented.

Good job on getting both bluebirds in focus. This is a good action image. Nice color and light.
