Oh no! Sorry, I may not have waited long enough on my comment way back when I pressed like but meant I Love varieties of birds.
Your Western bluebird is brilliantly blue and those soft red and pink toned on his upper chest are beautiful. What a dear bluebird! 🐦
What is interesting is our blue Jays are big (almost like crows) and our bluebirds are petite (like European robins).

  Thank you so much Robin! This Bluebird was so vivid I thought it might be a different bird for a little while.

  Thank you so much Myriam! I’m so glad that shot came out. He took off so fast. I wasn’t sure my reaction time was fast enough.

Outside of the occasional bluejay, I don’t get to see many blue birds. This one is a cutie 🙂

  This one was so, so blue; the most vivid blue bird I’ve ever seen! I thought for awhile it must be a different bird!
  
  Blue Jays are common here too. Bluebirds I see only in Spring.

What a pretty little guy. The bird house we put up in the yard was supposed to attract blue birds. We got a nice house sparrow family instead. I rarely see a bluebird around here, so this was a treat. Great capture of him in flight.

  Thank you so much Dan! I never thought about putting in a birdhouse to attract them! I’ll have to see what food they like besides worms too if I go that route.
  
  Your Sparrow family has been treat for me to see through your viewfinder. I rarely have them at my feeder.

    We were told to have the house up by February because blue bird start looking for a next early. Instead, Snoopy moved in and staked her claim.

        They are. This year, they just aren’t leaving. She still sits in the roof and there’s still activity in the house. Oh, and she owns it. Maddie and I got buzzed for getting too close.
