    Bluebirds!

    On Saturday I was down by the creek in back of my house and turned out to be a good day for birds. There were at least 5 or 6 bluebirds flying back and forth thru the trees. I couldn't believe it when one male landed on the branch of a small tree right in front of me so I started clicking away......
    These are all with my 70-300mm lens and 1.4x TC:

    There was also a flock of these birds, don't remember seeing them in this area before. I've identified them as adult or immature Yellow-rumped (Myrtle) warblers in winter plumage.
    This is the best shot I got of one, they also have a yellow patch on the rump and head:

    Re: Bluebirds!

    Very nice indeed!

    They are not very common in my parts so I'm definitely envious that you have such colorful birds nearby.

    Hope to see more of them from you as spring approaches!
