Second in a series of poses taken off my deck (through the deck fence) of a male Bluebird who was very patient and tolerant and beautiful. We have enjoyed an unusual variety of birds this spring ranging from this Bluebird and mate to a pair of Blue-Winged Warblers who are very rare in this neck of the woods.
