Bluebird of Happiness


	Bluebird of Happiness We put up a new nest box about a week ago. Very next day a couple of bluebirds came and seem to really love their future home, so I told my husband when then left that I thought that they had gone to closing on it. They have come back a few times since and checked on it, so I think we are going to have a family of "Bluebird Happiness" soon. Yesterday morning, it was very foggy, and one came again just to check, and I was able to capture this shot and a few others. I have the nest box far enough from the house that they would be comfortable, so with my Canon 5D Mark III, and Canon 300 mm L lens at f2.8, 1/500, ISO 100, on tripod and gimbal head, I shot this through the window.
