Do bluebirds often eat upside down?

Thanks, Cliff! It’s just so weird that Merlin did not identify the bird when it looks exactly like one of the photos on their site of a mountain bluebird! Audubon said mountain bluebirds are very

I appreciate that the bird appears blue. It is a common issue in birds with gray plumage that they can appear blue because of the lighting. Perception of color is a tricky business. Everything you

Definitely a male Mountain Bluebird - only one with a light blue belly (Charming picture!) Bess L. Hadley

Thank you Clifford and Stephen! We looked up bushtits and the chubby body shape is absolutely spot-on! But the birds really were blue- that’s what caught our eye! We know all about the camera

Thanks, Cliff. I missed the color correction.Sent from my Galaxy

Agreed. Bushtits

Thank you Peggy and Eric for your suggestion! We think you guys are both right but we just don’t understand why Merlin couldn’t identify it! I guess we were mislead by the fact that they were

Asleep, and then looking right at you! It's an unforgettable sensation, being held in the gaze of a great horned owl. Our outdoor song circle throughout this past year was visited at dusk regularly

Oh how precious!!? The only Great Horned Owls I have ever seen were/are at Effie Yeaw Nature Center - Virginia who has passed away and Echo who is there now.? I believe I have heard them in my

Great images of a rare daytime find! I’ve never seen a picture of a sleeping owl before- that is so cool!

Yesterday a friend took me to see a Great Horned Owl roosting during the day at River Bend Park.? Took us a while to find it because they hide among the branches and are hard to see (pic 1), but

Gorgeous, I need a bigger computer screen to do the pictures justice. So glad I don't do email on my phone.?

Spectacular for so very many reasons - backlighting defining wing definition and so much more. My most favorite magic of the photo is being able to see multiple phases of the wing when taking flight
