Description

We have a baby!!! I was thrilled to see our baby bluebird perch in our yard the other day. We had only seen it in the hole of the nest box before it flew the coop! I shot this with my Canon 7D Mark II, Canon 300mm f2.8 L lens at f5.6, 1/1500, ISO 500.

Awwwww! I am so jealous. Just love this. #11712710

Thank you, Candace. I just liked his position, as it reminds me of a little 2 year old getting tired and laying his head down with his butt in the air. I would share my birds with you if I could :-) <>< #11712713
