Backyard bluebirds: the feathered upside of quarantine life in 2020


These on-the-fly bluebird captures were a total gift. Taken at very long range with a Sigma 100-400mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM Contemporary zoom lens, they're essentially unedited (apart from cropping and a very slight boost of texture.) 

I think he was more at ease from a substantial height and distance so he took a quick moment to enjoy the view. 


So did I.
I love this guy who, as it turns out, is quite aggressive about defending his territory from the sparrows. You've got to admire that. 
Good looks and an attitude, too.
