Title: Eastern Bluebird
Post by: Shortsighted on June 09, 2024, 12:40:53 PM
Against a stark overcast sky these bluebirds were not much to warrant my attention and therefore easily overlooked.  While thrushes are not large birds I'm always caught off-guard how diminutive the bluebird really is.  Granted, that sounds as if I see then all the time, which is hardly the case.  When I spotted a wind-blustered bluebird in a tree along the road I mistook it for something less interesting.  It wasn't until I got it in my sights that I realized what it was.  I then kept my eyes peeled for perched bluebird along the meadow fence.
