Western Bluebird by aikiuser

Western Bluebird

Today we took a drive with a good bud out in the country, not knowing where to go exactly, or what to expect. Our days always turn out wonderfully when we let Life take hold of the reins and today was no exception. We didn't get a whole lot of great shots, but we were treated to an incredible assortment of rare wildlife today. We spotted a Red Fox, a bobcat, some Tule Elk, a Golden Eagle, Great Blue Herons, too many different birds to mention, the list goes on. A good day indeed!

I shall be catching up with you all tomorrow while I enjoy the playoffs and being lazy. Hope your weekend has been fabulous!!!

:-)
Beautiful!

Oh WOW. This just pops right out at you
January 23rd, 2011  
'Pops out' is exactly what came to mind with me too. Fantastic texture of bird and fence.
January 23rd, 2011  
Excellent shot

Hoe cute, and surely a beautiful species.

I love the composition
January 23rd, 2011  
Great focus on this shot. The colors of the bird are such a contrast to the old weathered fence. Really like this.

Love the colour - wonderful picy!
January 23rd, 2011  
Absolutely love this
January 23rd, 2011  
my favorite bird that I have not seen in 20+ years, thank you for sharing the beautiful capture.
January 23rd, 2011  
fantastically clear! 10 years in Denver, then abandoned it for warmer weather, did you? ;)
January 23rd, 2011  
@hellcat YUP ! ! ! I actually really liked Denver for a city (I'd MUCH rather live there than LA), but I'm much more a small town girl. I do miss the mountains, but at least we have those relatively close as well. Still visit Denver yearly, tho, and still a die-hard Bronco fan (ugh, what a year.)
January 23rd, 2011  
ha ha... yes, the Broncos have been having rough year. Maybe next year will be better. Denver is that perfect mix of city but small town, at least in a lot of ways. What do you make it back out here for? Fam/friends/events? I've browsed through you and Heather's albums, next time you're out it would be interesting to see CO through your eyes. Love the distinctive styles you each have.

@hellcat My bro still lives there as well as good childhood friends. We have Thanksgivings there occassionally as well. :-)
January 24th, 2011  
:) That's a good time of year to visit... pretty colors, especially up towards Georgetown. :)
January 24th, 2011  
I love the look in his eye-----------like an old soul!
January 24th, 2011  
A beautiful shot, Jenn, a beautiful bird -- and sporting Bronco colors, no less!
January 24th, 2011  
@aikimomm Yup, should've signed this guy up for the team. Couldn't hurt!
January 24th, 2011  
Wonderful vivid colors, especially in contrast to the wood.
January 24th, 2011  
@allie912 Thanks, Allison. Much appreciated! (Just missed you in my comments above, oops!) :-)
January 24th, 2011  
Good bird shot. Pretty colors.
January 24th, 2011  
@cary Thanks, Cary! :-D
January 24th, 2011  
Oh so beautiful! Love the color and detail!!
January 24th, 2011  
@bill_d Thanks, Bill! Not as good as all your wonderful bird shots, but I was happy to get it at all! :-)
January 24th, 2011  
This is a gorgeous bird and a fabulous capture. I've never seen a bird with those colorings. Very nice!!!
January 24th, 2011  
@jjsooner Thanks, Jennifer! We are lucky to have a ginormous variety of birds here. It never ceases to amaze me!
January 24th, 2011  
love the DOF, color, and composition of this shot! He doesn't look the least bit fussed --- how close were you?
January 24th, 2011  
@ZG Thanks, Denise! I was aproximately 15 or 20 feet (??) I couldn't believe he didn't fly away immediatly. They usually do!
January 24th, 2011  
What a beauty, love the dof and clarity!
January 24th, 2011  
This is beautiful, although this guy looks like he could use a little feeding.
January 24th, 2011  
This one is beautiful too!
