Mountain Bluebirds At A Natural Nest Cavity
Female Mountain Bluebird In Flight
I have a low success rate with this kind of shot, especially with Mountain Bluebirds.
Male Mountain Bluebird And Progress With His Natural Nest Cavity
I have something in common with this hard working bluebird and his mate – home improvements.
Male Mountain Bluebird And His Mate, sorta…
I don’t see a photo like this one every day and I look at an enormous number of bird photographs.
Mountain Bluebirds At A Natural Nest Cavity
I look for Mountain Bluebirds nesting in natural cavities every spring but rarely find them. Yesterday I finally did but the shooting was tough.
Male Mountain Bluebird In Flight (plus a lesson in sharpness)
Male Mountain Bluebird And Fledglings
Cornell’s Birds of North America Online calls Mountain Bluebirds one of the most sublime songbirds in North America and I agree. The cerulean blue of the male is simply spectacular and females and juveniles show some of it too.
Mountain Bluebirds – Presumably A Mated Pair
It’s been a long time since I’ve been able to get decent shots of Mountain Bluebirds so it was great fun to photograph both a male and a female in the Wasatch Mountains yesterday morning.
Male Mountain Bluebird Feeding A Hungry Fledgling
In the bird world fledglings of most species always seem to be starving, frantic, vocal and impatient. This young bluebird was no exception.
My First Mountain Bluebird Of The Year
I’ve been trying to get close to Mountain Bluebirds here in Wayne County for three days now without a lick of success. But yesterday I tried a different tack and found a single cooperative bird.
Mountain Bluebird Youngster – Awkward And Vulnerable
It’s the time of year for chicks and fledglings at Montana’s Red Rock Lakes National Wildlife Refuge.
Mountain Bluebird – An Unusual Take-off From The Nest Hole
It’s surprisingly difficult to anticipate direction of take-off, even as birds leave the entrance to a nest cavity in a tree.
Mountain Bluebirds – Blue On Blue
This mated pair of Mountain Bluebirds has been involved in tenant wars with a variety of other species for occupancy rights to one of several nest cavities in this aspen tree in Clark County, Idaho
Female Mountain Bluebird Removing Fecal Sac From Nestbox
The nesting season of Mountain Bluebirds in Montana’s Centennial Valley was delayed this year due to a late spring cold snap so during my visit there last week some of them were still feeding youngsters in the nest boxes. I’ve found it to be relatively easy to photograph the parent birds on top of the nest boxes with insects for the chicks in their beaks but catching them in flight as they leave the nest with fecal sacs is another story altogether.
