Western Bluebird, Point Reyes National Seashore

I’ve been looking for a western bluebird to photograph for some time.  It hasn’t been easy.  First, they are hard to find.  Second, they aren’t easy to get a lens on them. They don’t sit still for more than a few seconds, if that.  Third, it’s hard to get a clean background.   This guy accommodated me recently at Point Reyes.  Thank you my friend.

  1. Beautiful bird and fantastic image Jim. It’s one of the most beautiful blues in nature, right along side the greenish blue of the ocean and the milky blue of a glacial stream.
