Bluebird House and Bluebird? Uh ....no ....

This is a bird house built specifically for bluebirds. We have many of these in our area. But this is not a bluebird; it is a swallow. An interloper who has decided to claim the house for this season:) The male has blue or bluish green feathers.
great processing. love the textures and those nicely subdued colours

@pistache @jessikapanteleios Thank you ladies. I'm trying out Topaz Textures on some of my photos and am enjoying playing around with the different textures.

Nice shot! Swallows eat mosquitos - tons of them, so they're all right in my book.

Oh very sneaky bird. I am really drawn to the textures and colours of the fence post and rail. So nice.

Everything is wonderful about this capture... !!! Love it!

If you hang two bluebird boxes next to one another bluebirds won't nest in both boxes but they might nest in one! Swallows will not nest side by side either so you might get your bluebirds.

Also, if you drill a small hole in the top and put screening over ... the swallows don't like that... but bluebirds like the "dripping shower" !

Maybe these tips will help.

Again, love the processing and love your capture ! It is phenomenal !
