Pretty posing mountain bluebird

I kind of missed the boat last month when these colorful birds migrated through the Denver area and never managed a good shot of them. This past weekend, a trip to the Colorado high country helped to make up for that.

There were quite a few around and they were extraordinarily patient, far more so than I usually experience with them. This particular one had staked out a perch on a nice boulder next to Eleven Mile Reservoir.

I always say I don’t take pics of little birds and I definitely do try to avoid ones that don’t look particularly pretty. However, this little one was so willing to pose, I couldn’t resist. I don’t know if it was just fluffed up in an odd way or perhaps molting but it wasn’t the typically pretty bluebird we expect to see. Taken in Estes Park, Colorado.

There were bunches of these beautiful little birds at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal this past weekend. All but this one were unwilling to sit for long and allow me to get pictures. This lady seemed to relish the spotlight as she hunted for bugs right next to my truck, always returning to the same spot for more pictures.
