Eastern Bluebird

[Mike Mancil]

My sister-in-law is a Bluebird whisperer and wanted to document the 2018 backyard collection. It was a fun morning, sitting with the birds.

I assume she puts up blue bird boxes, if so, it's still tricky to lure them into your area. This one is really nice. small bords like this in flight are really tough compared to large soaring birds.

Great in flight shot Mike.

Wow Mike, super cool looking! I sure wish we had beautiful birds like that here.

Thanks guys. Yeah, she has three birdhouses just for Bluebirds and each year they come and stay in only one of them, the same house each year. Picky little birds... Mike
