Feathered Photography

A Contemplative Bluebird

It isn’t Rodin’s The Thinker but it still makes me wonder what birds might think about.

I just never know what I’ll find, or find out, during a morning of attempted bird photography. Yesterday provided ample evidence of that.

Yesterday morning I learned something about hummingbirds. Maybe I’ll start trying to get hummingbird takeoff shots again. It’s been a while.

Get the good light while you can because all too often it’s fleeting.

For today’s post one thing led to another. And another. And another…

A more comprehensive look at the Mountain Blubird pair near their nest cavity in the mountains.

I don’t see a photo like this one every day and I look at an enormous number of bird photographs.

If you’re going to dig or maintain a burrow in spring you’re very likely to end up looking a little like a kid who’s been playing in the mud.

I look for Mountain Bluebirds nesting in natural cavities every spring but rarely find them. Yesterday I finally did but the shooting was tough.

If you pay attention you just never know what you’ll encounter “out there”.
