Love the moon halo.
That there is a lot of redwing blackbirds in that there tree! Must have been noisy!
Turkey vultures are so impressive, to me.
Beauty, Tim
We have had a lot of female redwing blackbirds this year. The vulture are beautiful in flight. Not so purty perched or walking around on the ground. Thanks, Dale.
That a bunch of red-winged blackbirds. Cute little bluebird “mooning” us. And the turkey vulture, well, not exactly a pretty bird, but great photos of the wingspan as it soars by.
Are you using a camera with a full-frame, APS-C or othe size sensor? I have the 400mm lens on a body ith an APS-C sensor, so the focal length is 640mm.
Ha, that first bluebird has a white afro. I do feel bad for the female being stuck with the dull coloring..probably thinking… at least I’m not a Vulture hehehe.
Yeah. The blackbirds have been trying to cancel the bluebird for cultural misappropriation. You know what a Vulture’s favorite song is? “Carrion my wayward son.” Thanks, Brian.
Well, all they have to do is self-identify as being an Eagle and they can cancel those blackbirds. The Kansas joke made me laugh out loud – nicely done.
I’m happy you got a laugh out of that. We need more laughter in this dreary world. Speaking of funny, do you ever watch Jeff Dunham clips? He and his cast of dummies are hilarious.
Yep, I like Jeff. He has appeared a few times at our local civic center, but with been unable to make it so far. Did catch a few on YouTube and a few of his shows on late night TV.
I’ve been enjoying your bluebirds, Tim. The halo is especially fetching. 🙂
Thanks, Mary Jo. The moon was in the right place.
That bluebird and moon look like they get along just fine. My favorite, Tim!
Thanks, Bruce.
The bird portraits are beautiful, Tim. The moon-lo over the bluebird is a great composition.
Thanks, Lavinia. Laurie was commenting on the composition.
That wingspan! 😍
Vultures have impressive wingspans. Thanks, Michele.

They are a noisy bunch, aren’t they, the RWB?
Vultures are glorious up in the air… up close? I’d go so far as to call ’em fugly…
What a glorious shot, Tim. Hugs.
Thanks, Teagan.
Beautiful blues. And that top one is an angel.
Thanks, Shay.
Excellent bird studes! The turkey looks quite magnificent in flight.
Thanks, Liz.
You’re welcome, Tim.
Gorgeous photos; I love bird-watching, it’s so much fun!!!
Bird watching is fun. Thanks, Samantha.

Someone has to moon us. Turkey Vulture are beautiful and graceful in flight, unlike their lumbering around on the ground. Thanks, Brad.
Graceful in flight and beautiful at a slight distance. I caught this one cruising the thermals at the Grand Canyon many years ago. https://bradmarks.smugmug.com/Wildlife/Birds/Turkey-vulture/ It was hanging around the California condors.
He was cruising. Someone has to hangout with he CA condors.
Wow. Just an avian kinda day. Hawk was amazing, but moon bird was the best. 👍
Thanks, Craig.
Stunning images – reminding me of the interconnectedness of our world.
Thanks, Janet.
An odd pairing of birds, but I love bluebirds!
Odd birds happen. Thanks, Brad.
Yes!
Beautiful. I saw a gorgeous blue bird the other day.
Thanks, Jeff.
Most welcome, Tim.
Saint bluebird and feathered friends beautifully captured. What a great start to April!
Thanks, Marina.
😌👌
Beautiful words and images!
Thanks, Sylvia.
Great! What lens did you use for the moonshot.
Thanks, Goeff. I use a Canon 400mm DO ƒ/4.0 for the detailed moonshot. I use the same lens for most birdshot as well.
Thanks! I am limited to my zoom which goes up to 300 mm. Maybe Father Christmas will think of me this coming Christmas.

These photos with the moon in the background are incredible!
Thanks, JYP.
This post is a celebration of our winged friends. The blue sky adds to the magic. Fabulous photos, Tim!
Thanks,Rebecca.
The vivid blue backdrop is so gorgeous. Great shots Tim and amazing so many birds in the tree. 💞
Thanks, Cindy.
You’re welcome! ❣️
I hope turkey vultures don’t eat bluebirds!
The bluebirds are gorgeous. xx
They don’t I explained vultures on the wrong comment. Thanks, Resa.
No worries! I got it.
The moon and the bluebird shot is amazing Tim ..
Thanks, Julie.
These photos make me falling in love with the blues.
Thanks, Arthit.

They wish they could self-identify as eagles when facing Rodney Red-tail.
