Eastern Bluebirds


My new job requires a lot of drive-time and I am often on the road throughout the rural mid-Atlantic and Carolinas.  One aspect of this travel that is enjoyable is the abundance of Eastern Bluebirds seemingly everywhere I go.  These photos were taken in Irvington, Virginia where we were repairing a country home.  There were at least 100 Eastern Bluebirds lighting on the fence posts and in the fields.  They seemed like flying jewels or ornaments creating a spectacle that brought a huge smile to my face.

  6. Nice! They graced my backyard for the first time here in Cincinnati last winter. I agree they are like little flying jewels - a rare find and awesome to watch. Great shots!
