Eastern Bluebird: Kennebunk, Maine, USA — one of the delights of winter is our daily visits from the bluebirds. We have had up to half a dozen on the deck at once, but we have three that come every day…the pair that nest in one of the yards around us, and this year’s chick from the second brood. This particular shot is through the thermopane deck door. They are still pretty flighty, even after long exposure to our harmless observations, and I only rarely get the deck door open without scaring them off. If I startle them, they don’t come back for few hours, and I don’t want to keep them from the mealworms this time of year when they need the fat for warmth. Sony Rx10iv at 600mm equivalent.
