Don't know how I missed this post earlier. Happy I found it now, or I would have missed all these gorgeous shots .
Have never seen many of these birds. Wonderful set

Of course I love the set Tim. Great find on all of the species. Theses are not rare, but they are rare to capture. I have to go with the Mountain BB, especially with the male, since I'm still aftering it.

Definition of PERCH

1: a bar or peg on which something is hung
2a : a roost for a bird
b : a resting place or vantage point : seat
c : a prominent position <his new perch as president>

Funny, it doesn't say 'branch'

Sorry Don, had to get that in there
Maybe it's me but somehow barbed wire works often as a most acceptable 'perch' for 'me' It is uncluttered, has nice patina much like a well weathered piece of wood and it isn't something you find in your backyard feeder area so it also ties in nicely to to larger

Definition of PERCH

You know Karl, last year the barbed wire perches really bugged me when I was there. This year it just seemed normal. It sure is natural to the birds!! I do agree with you about the patina, shiny and new would suck!

The backgrounds are nice in that area you just have to shoot from high enough so that you don't get all sky. The BB's are such pretty birds, just seeing them is a treat for the eyes. Indeed the Quails were on the march

Thanks Karl!!

Good stuff individually and as a set, Tim.
When swallows pick a nesting site, they are super determined- if not very aggressive. They were building their mud nests directly over a friend's gasoline pumps up in Yukon Territory. He knocked the nests down every day for a couple of weeks, yet the birds STILL tried to rebuild. Finally my friend put up boards to catch all the poop. The swallows won the war. I wonder if the bluebirds succeeded in chasing the swallows away for good.
Charlie


Thank you Charlie for the nice words and the info!! The swallows were very persistent but the BB's held their ground. It was kind of odd, there were plenty of nesting boxes around and nearby, I don't know what made this one so special. I would be interested in going back in a month or so just to see who is in there with babies.

You sure captured some delightful qualities on that female quail, Tim. Wonderful pic. The rest are absolutely stunning with #4 and #6 making me do a double-take!
