On the same day I photographed the young Northern Mockingbird<\/span><\/a> I shared yesterday, I also had a striking male Eastern Bluebird in my viewfinder for a little bit.<\/p>\n

I hadn’t photographed a male bluebird in a while, so I was happy to focus on him for as long as he stayed.<\/p>\n

The male Eastern Bluebird kept fluttering his wings and seemed a little excited. I believe he was excited because a female bluebird was nearby, checking out the nestbox.<\/p>\n

It’s way too late, or too early, depending on how you look at it, for these bluebirds to be thinking about breeding and nesting again this year.<\/p>\n

Perhaps this male was all aflutter simply because he found the female bluebird attractive.<\/p>\n

Whatever it was that made this male bluebird excited enough to flutter his wings, I\u2019m grateful for it because I liked the action I was seeing through my viewfinder.<\/p>\n

Seeing, hearing, and photographing these beautiful Eastern Bluebirds<\/span><\/a> has been great fun for me.<\/p>\n

Life is<\/em> good.<\/p>\n
