Eastern Bluebird: Kennebunk, Maine, USA, April 2026 — As I said a few days ago, sometimes feeder shots can display a range of behavior and postures that it would take a long time to catch on any other perch. So here you have such a range. Bluebirds are, to my eye, one of the more expressive birds—or at least one of the more relatable birds. We can easily see ourselves in them, in a way that might make ourselves easier to see. If I ask you what you see in these postures, I suspect you will not have any trouble telling me, and I have to suspect that it will tell me more about you than it does about bluebirds. In a very real sense, my photos and my selections tell you more about me than they do about bluebirds. 🙂 Sony a7CR. Tamron 150-500 at about 800mm equivalent field of view.
