  Shirley, could you send that "care less" attitude this way, please. It's rare to get the bluebirds to stay in one spot for very long here. Love the tilt of its head and the bokeh. :o)

  Thank you all very much. Joanna, having the reach of 560 mm helped, plus maybe he knew there was an electric fence keeping me from getting any closer! They usually don't let me get close either. I am thinking of putting up a nesting box for them, then I could capture them through my window. <><

  LOL... I need more glass (Christmas Wish List!) ;o) Your idea of putting up a nesting box is excellent. I will watch for those window shots this summer.
