Male Mountain Bluebirds

Photography by Rob McKay

The blue colour is almost unbelievable, shinny electric blue of the male mountain bluebird is something to see first hand! These iridescent birds are amazing to watch this time of year as they hunt for insects along a fence line. This adult male mountain bluebird in full breeding colors has caught what looks like a grub/larva or some sort of caterpillar and will no doubt be feeding it to his young once its softened up a bit
