Mountain Bluebird, Sialia currucoides – Rocky
Mountain National Park, Colorado: Going
through my files I found this mountain bluebird that I shot on Moraine Park
road. The Moraine Valley is one of my
favorite spots in Rocky Mountain NP. I
can always count on seeing mountain bluebirds, swallows, nuthatches and magpies
along the road to the campground. Hiking
through the adjacent woodlands and meadows I found this bluebird and its mate
gleaning insects from recently dead pines.
This is one of
many images I shot as the birds foraged.
What drew me to the image was the clean background, simplistic line of
the branch and the complementary colors of the out of focus yellow flowers at
the bottom of the frame, and the blue bird.
I took lots of images that morning and this one is among my favorites.
