Some Pretty Birds!

[old digger]

I got a few pictures of some beautiful Azure Bunting's at the feeder.





Mr Goldfinch also came by for a free meal also.




A week ago we drove up into the high country and this Mountain Bluebird landed on the pickup door as it was still open. He was quite inquisitive and didn't seem to be too afraid of getting close.

Great pictures. Really like the blue bird.

Great pictures. Are the Mountain Blue Birds as mean to other birds as the Regular Blue Birds?

We have had a lot of overcast with some showers and a few downpours. There for a while we were getting too much moisture.

I am not familiar with what you mean by them being mean to other birds. If you ever have the chance to visit out here in the High Plains and Mountains you will see how vast the topography is. I am sure that Bluebirds may defend their nesting area, but while hiking I observed other bird species and there was no altercation between the two.

They sure are pretty! Your Bluebirds appear to look somewhat smaller than the Mountain Bluebird.

Great pics, digger. Really like the bluebird, which is Idaho's state bird. You don't often get them that close. Where are you located in Montana? I'm heading up to the Monida country Friday, for a little prospecting.

The same is going on down here. The dog sure love all the new puddles of water to splash around in on walks. Won't be long til, it'll all dry up, so I guess I'll enjoy it for now.

I been getting into watching the Birds in my area in the last year or so.
Just something peaceful about them.

Nice shots! I mostly have Mountain Bluebirds here, and it's a rare thing to get that close to one.

We have Goldfinch's here, and too many Stellar Jay's that like
to pound on roof vents in the early morning...

Not these though...wish we had a few around!

 

[old digger]

Aren't there in the higher elevations?

Beautiful Pictures old digger.... Love those "Azure Buntings"....we have some "Lazuli Buntings", are they the same? It's hard to get good pictures of them though, don't see them much, here are the ONLY ones (blurry) pictures I've gotten so far of them....the second one has the female with it. Try to get some more of them for us please.
