Not Singing - Just Trying to Breathe!

check on black. Caught this bluebird trying to get a breath of air - nothing stirring with awful humidity. It has been another scorcher of a day. Maybe some relief middle of next week???

I used to live on the Gulf Coast, I know what you mean. Expertly cropped. Love how the sticks match and counter his posture.

Way too hot here in New Mexico, too. But what a super cool photo you've got here!

Very clear shot - we also have the humidity and its stifling!

Ooo, great capture of this interesting moment, Milanie. So neat to see birds cooling off this way. Nature amazes! I love the sharpness of the beautiful bluebird; and I also love the pretty yellow, blues, and greens in the background. Such a pretty picture!

[Margaret Brown]

Poor thing, but great capture all the same.

[Karen]

Wonderful shot!

[Elisabeth Sæter]

Nice shot

[Diane]

Great capture, they do suffer just like us. I know when it's stinking hot here the birds have their beaks wide open. Hope you get some respite from the heat. Fav

[Kerri Michaels]

awww...great shot... fav

[Martin Jalkotzy]

Gorgeous, Milanie...I think, as you suggest, this is the equivalent of a panting dog!

[Brian]

Beautiful shot. You and your Canon sure do good. IQ of the Canon is impressive.
