Catching the Light on Bluebird Lane [View all]

I got lucky!

In the following ways--

two birds
both faces in view
stayed there long enough to focus
no leaves blocking them
not robins, bluejays, mockingbirds or sparrows (had enough of them)
bluebirds!
one with really ruffled feathers (makes detail stand out)
chirping
some light shining on them..........through the trees!!


And a backlit, negative space bluebird photo!
