Bluebird

Bluebirds are nesting in my yard. The male will fly to a spot and sit and sit before flying back to the nest.

So fun to watch. Love the focus and dof.

@shutterbug49 Thank you. I have a lot of trouble with focus. Guess I'll have to look over the tips and tutorials again. Probably a tripod would help but I hate the extra baggage.
@mcsiegle Thank you Mary.
@grammyn Thanks so much Katy.
@kjarn He was sitting very still. Thanks Kathy.
@jamibann Thank you Issi.
@bkbinthecity Thanks Brian.
@30pics4jackiesdiamond Thank you Jackie. Another scene from the 'hood.
@pusspup Thank you Wylie. A bit enhanced.
@wakelys Thank you Sue. It is cool to see them. They were once considered endangered but are making a comeback.
@craftymeg Thank you Meg.

Oh, how wonderful- I would love it if I had Bluebirds nesting nearby. We do get them flying through on occasion though. Good shot!

[Kathy]

@olivetreeann Perhaps a bluebird box would get them stop. Probably mealy worms would too. A treat they really like. A friend of mine hangs them below the box.

[Pyrrhula]

Great shot of this beautiful bird and the nice bushes.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@randystreat I'm not sure our wooded lot would keep them- it's not exactly their environment. But that might work- something to look into for sure!

[Kathy]

@pyrrhula Thank you. The trees are crape myrtles.

the dof is to die for here, kathy. aces!
