Western BluebirdSialia MexicanaA keeper from my afternoon day off. Started out late, really late. I forgot that sunsets are now earlier. I kind of like the neck-breaking pose of this one. Not sure if it's a male or female, I guess it's a male. Nikon D300, AF-S 300mm f/4D, TC 1.7, 500mm, 1/800s, F/8, ISO 280, Manfrotto tripod with RRS BH-55 head. Will add later my previously posted bluebirds.

Color and detail are great. It looks like it was really in good light to give you a well exposed image at those settings.

Three's Company or Three's a crowd? Or Three on a Tree ? ;D Looks like the one in the middle is a female, as it has paler color. Nikon D300, AF-S 300mm f/4D, TC 1.7, 500mm, 1/800s, F/8, ISO 220, Manfrotto tripod with RRS BH-55 head.

Great shots, Ted. I love the warm colors of the trio.
The middle bird is a female indeed.
