Western Blue Bird

thank you so much, Ian.

Beautiful color!

Thanks Cole, Kranti,Yuko and Jellis for your feedback and kind words!

Awesome!

So lovely!

Jellis , I am taking the size and the plumage into account and that does add up to a maturing male.

thanks Jellis. I added " Maturing Male " in the description.

but it could also be your camera

The orange breast and blue wing is too bright to be a female

the size makes me feel that it is a maturing male. The plumage could be a female?

Pretty close to being mature. Any younger and it would have spots on the chest.

Wow what a beautiful bird! great picture
