Passerina cyanea
small male, bright blue. seems injured and couldnt fly
Seeing as i could walk right up to the bird, i brought him in, hopefully preventing an easy meal or roadkill. With nothing visibly wrong with the bird, I judged that it just needed some time to recooperate. We kept him for a week until he looked much better and very antsy, and so we brought him back where we found him and he took off like a dart. :)

thx guys :)
Beautiful shot and a really sweet story.
Wow nice pic
What a gorgeous bird, and a great opportunity to get some nice shots! I'm happy to hear that he was well looked after and returned to the wild!
Thanks Purple!!!!
Congrats !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
Thank you!! :)
Congratulations on a job well done! More power.
He did so well!!!! So proud of him! We had no problem getting him to eat when he was in captivity either. I'd say our first attempt at bird rescuing was a success!
successful release back into the wild :)
tentative release tomorrow. :)
I am glad to hear it is better Audrey and that it will be able to fly soon.
He is doing quite well, hopefully we will be able to release him sometime next week or so.
wow thx guys :)
Muy Linda !!
Pretty little thing!
I hope he is okay (I had similar experience with Indigo bunting, but luckily, he was okay and flew away).
Pretty!!!
stunning, awesome closeup
no problem, and thanks
Wonderful!! Good for you!! I wish everyone was so thoughtful! Would you please put some notes about it in your comments above? That will stop other people from asking the same question. ;-)
yea he looked like easy prey so i took it in.
Beautiful bird!! Did you take it to your local rehabilitation center?? This bird would probably not survive if left out, and your local rehabber would take it in. Please if you still can, do so! Thanks!
