Eastern Bluebird

 

 

A heart-stoppingly  beautiful bird I never tire of photographing. Luckily they are again plentiful here in Darien. Local golf courses and home owners have helped in the comeback by providing nest boxes for these cavity nesting  insectivores .

                                                                                                   

                              In time  these birds become quite tolerant of people and allow  observers close approaches.

 

    

This is fortunate because they are quite small.

 

 

Bluebird trails require care but the rewards are great.
