Western Bluebird by aikiuser

Western Bluebird

Today we went back to the Golden Eagle nest we visited last Friday in hopes of catching the chicks feeding. We are happy to report there are still two chicks in the nest, but no parental unit returned to the nest while we waited, so no Golden photos of worth to post just yet.

Spotted another Western Bluebird while waiting for the eagles, but it was too far away and I didn't get a good shot of it either. So instead, tonight I processed this one from yesterday's more successful shoot. It's pretty much SOOC with the addition of a light vignette and minor curves adjustment--these little guys really are that vibrant!
Great colours on the bird, excellent

That is the most beautiful bluebird I've ever seen! The comp is perfect for showing it off too.

That's the most amazing blue colour! Great DOF and composition as always Jenn!

The simplicity of the composition, the bokeh clouds, that wonderful blue and rust -- outstanding. I love that he found a little S hook to perch on between the barbs, and his "what are you doing?" look.
