Outstanding photography!
may I ask: where? and what lens?

There are many great places to take shots of a bluebird during nesting season (over by now).  Keep any eye out for nesting boxes.  I have found that patience, lighting and persistence have the greatest impact on getting a good shot.  I am using a Panasonic G1 and 100-300mm lens for all of my shots.  Probably at the low end technology wise but very portable with good length (600mm at 35mm equivalent).  I rarely go above ISO200 and have been using a cheap monopod.

Thank you for your advice.
And your images sure prove that the Panasonic G1 can produce great results.
