Blue Bird Male. Sialia mexicana.

Took this photo from inside of my portable blind, it is easy to carry and you can build it within a few seconds. I decided to put it in My garden near to a tree and a water supply early in the morning, it was cloudy by that time, the blue birds (5 or 6 of them) where the first to come and one of them, after he took fresh water flew from ground to a branch about 5 ft. away from the window, he was very curious to see what was inside of it.

I took so many photos of birds that time, after the sun come out it was very very hot inside and by the time I come out from there about four hours later, I was like a fried chicken, but so happy and My camera full of photos that I will post later.

Saludos

Hello luis,

You have made a fine portret of the bird. you have taken the photo when the bird was in a fine pose. colors are very interesting and there is a fine contrast between the colors of the plumage and those of the background.

Thank you for sharing,

The blue bird makes such a wonderful contrast to the bright pink peach colour of the background. The single branch where it is perched makes a nice pose for the bird. Superb once more!

Perfect background for this blue bird. Really brings out the vivid blue. What a great facial expression! Love it!
