Mountain Bluebirds turn up in March. But, just try to get a picture this early in the season.
A Mountain Bluebird hunts from a fence post for insects, something still difficult to find.
From its perch, it headed out and caught something.
While watching bluebirds, another hunter was spotted: a raven flying by carrying a vole.
Oh that blue…even on St. Patrick’s day! Thanks, Alistair
Karen, when I see it, I always think of Dirk.
That blue bird is really stunning – I don’t think I’ve ever seen one around here. Are they pretty rare?
Grace, they are here most years, but I only know a few local places to find them.
I saw one about 20 years ago in Kokanee Creek Park. Truly an amazing sight.
Thanks Alistair
Bluebirds are localized with us too and not often seen. I think this spring I’ll set up a wooden fence post in the meadow, on the off chance I’ll see a bluebird perching there some day.
