Bluebirds
Shot these on Wednesday just after the first round of snow, never seen these before in Deer Creek Natural area (Fort Collins).

Thanks for your C&C.

#1 posted a larger one too.

I'm liking #3 and #4 the most, they show off the colors of the birds nicely. Certainly are plump little things.

Being Mountain Bluebirds, they are passing through on their way to their montane-alpine summer homes. I agree with Scott, 3 & 4 are the nicest!

Yes, 3 & 4 are the chosen two. I do like the flared bird in the first image, but wish they were closer for more detail.

Soubhik....first one in my book is awesome!! Then the third one and 4th... beautifully done!! Crop of first one is also will be interesting I think.... :wavey:

Exactly what Rajeev (and the others) have said. Nicely captured and 'developed'! The nice even light is a real plus.

I agree with John on your pp. Really well done, and the exposures are dead on as well. A fun and beautiful series of these great little birds.
