Very nice It’s interesting that the birds hold on to the sharp barbs.

Mountain Bluebirds love the high dry mountains of central Washington State. I traveled along Badger Mountain Road east of Wenatchee in search of these elusive birds. It was cold and the wind was blowing about 20mph making it difficult to hold the camera steady. I searched for about an hour before I found a pair of bluebirds. They were skittish. It was hard to get close. But I managed to get a few half way decent shots I thought I would share. They won't win any awards but I think worth viewing none-the-less. The male Mountain Bluebird, in particular, is very striking. Also attached are a few shots of the high mountain area where these birds live and where wheat is regularly grown and harvested. I hope you enjoy these shots.

Outstanding. Amazing you could get that close.


Even with a 600mm lens?
