yeah, defo western bluebird
Carolina Chickadee Poecile carolinensis
Interesting place for this species.
Christine; despite the pristine environment looking south from this vantage, the area to the north is being developed with summer homes. The birds have come into conflict with humans and as a result, the Peregrine Fund staff has encouraged (hazed) them to seek roosting opportunities in more remote sections of Zion National Park.
Looks like a good choice for these cavity nesters.
This species is abundant in warmer months in this area. These two individuals apparently did not migrate which occurs in late September.
