Finally, got to go do some shooting. Hey, the mountain bluebirds
are back. Was interesting trying to shoot these in 60+ mph winds.
I always love seeing these guys in the Spring.
Thanks for looking.

I'm with you Jeremy, love these little guys. Looks like the males are scouting ahead of the girls. Love your first shot. I heard a bluebird yesterday while sitting on our porch (Trinidad, Co). Where were these taken?

Being that they're all males, is it spring, or happy hour?

Great shots. I love the way they're all lined up in the 2nd one.

Hi, these were taken in Mesa Trails by Boulder. Will be going back this week to spend some more
time with them.

Great bird on a stick, Jeremy. I love that blue!
What focal length were you using ?

Cool! The blue really stand out well against those backgrounds!

Both shots are really nice, but I like the second one and how they are all lined up!.

Excelent shots!

Thanks everyone! Really looking forward to Spring.
Great Shot Jeremy, technically excellent. Few places more beautiful after the winter thaw than the front range. Flat Irons Vista Open Space is one of my favorite spots.
