Mountain Bluebird, male
Mountain bluebird, female.(We saw numerous bluebirds in our yard and flitting around the pasture in late autumn.)
Steller's jay (This jay was hanging out at our campsite in the mountains last summer. He was hoping for some leftovers, I think.
Such a sweet little blue bird in the first shot!
ReplyDeleteLove the female perched among the branches - nice composition Janie.
What beautiful birds! You are lucky they visit there!
ReplyDeleteThat little female in the middle is stunning. I think you could sell that shot (or win a contest) or get in a calendar. There's peace there, and I could stare at it all day. Thank you, Janie!
ReplyDeleteSome beautiful shots, you must have some great wildlife there. Thanks for sharing Janie:)
ReplyDeleteI just love your Western birds! Saw a Stellar's Jay on a trip to Colorado. Hope to return sometime to catch a Mountain Bluebird. Thanks for sharing your local birds for those of us who consider them exotic!
ReplyDeleteYou have gorgeous blues all around you! These are fantastic captures of your bluebirds and jay. Really like the one of the female; she's perfectly framed among all the branches. Not an easy feat - at least for me!
ReplyDeleteI have a Camera Critter post this week, too.
Hope you have a great weekend~
Janie,
ReplyDeleteJust lovely! I think the Mountain blues are my favorite!
Just beautiful...Wordless!
ReplyDeleteJanie,come to my blog please,to recive an award!

Oh how pretty, Janie... His blue is a different shade of blue from our Eastern Bluebirds. You really did capture some great 'blues' in this post. Wow!!!!
ReplyDeleteHugs,

ReplyDeletebeautiful shots!
My camera Critters Post
pretty blue birds...we just have blue jays here and they can be quite mean...
ReplyDeleteThey are all gorgeous...nice to see some BLUE on a gray day!!
ReplyDeleteAre Jays always begging.
ReplyDeleteMountain Bluebirds are such a beautiful shade of torquoise blue. It always reminds me of the Mediterranean, which would not be a bad place to be right now!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blue birds. Nice blog.
ReplyDeleteYou got some great shots of your Utah blues. I really like the picture of the female bluebird.
ReplyDeletegreat shots--I also love the pinion jay and how they flit along in a long bunchy line--all rising and falling on the currents in a group and wheeling in the same direction in a single moment.
ReplyDeleteNice Catch! Mine is up!
ReplyDeleteLovely bluebirds.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful bluebird, Janie, what a nice capture, we hardly ever see bluebirds here
ReplyDeleteYou always have so many comments on your blog! And no wonder. Fun posts about some of the most beautiful mountains in the world. The mountain bluebird is Idaho's state bird, but they seem to like the mountains more than the potato country where I am. The stellar jay is another very handsome bird. Seen a few. Your photo is excellent.
ReplyDeleteReally beautiful shot, the blu bird is amazing
ReplyDeleteYour Mountain Bluebird is so pretty. Great photos of both the Bluebird and the Jay.
ReplyDeletecute birds..their color blended with the sky..awesome shots
ReplyDeleteI got a snake
Janie: the bluebirds are beautiful but that Jay is a stellar shot.
ReplyDeleteSometimes stellar jays show up at the feeder, but not recently. Funny we posted blue birds at about the same time!
ReplyDeleteIt is the bird which wore very bright colors.
ReplyDeleteThank you for showing a wonderful view.
I have never seen a steller jay before. It looks quite different from the blue jays seen here. Do you have blue jays too?
ReplyDeleteThe bluebird is lovely. I've seen them rarely in my life. Stellar jays I've seen in my travels out west.
ReplyDeleteLovely blue birdies you've captured here and marvelous shadows in the your other post. I've fallen behind with my sister in town because I'm spending less time at the computer ... so today I'm doing what I can to catch up.
ReplyDeleteHugs and blessings,
