After literally bringing some grub to feed his young a male Western Bluebird leaves the nesting box and perches on a fence pole in search of more food for the rapidly growing brood. We watched as both the male and female shuttled food in and waste out of the nest box with their young still safely tucked away inside.
The Western Bluebird is not as common as the Mountain Bluebird so it is always a pleasure to see that brilliant blue and orange. A fine way to start a summers day.

He’s stunning.

He was not on a 40/week work schedule. Overtime without pay.

It is, so vibrant. I always am a bit astonished when I see blue colored birds and the sheer purity of that blue.
