Backyard Bluebirds






It was nice enough for a backyard bonfire and brat-roast. We were all settled in comfortably when I sent Paul in for my camera. One of the nest boxes, originally bought with bluebirds in mind when we first moved in, but taken over in turn by tree swallows, wrens, and the occasional tree frog, was now hosting bluebirds.

Finally !

Our visitors obligingly posed long enough for me to find the focus and grab a few shots. All are taken with the 300 mm lens, as we were on opposite sides of the yard. Continuous shutter is a setting I'm coming to love, especially since it's what caught some in-flight action.
