I'm a long time banker having worked in banks since the age of 17. I took a break when I turned 50 and went back to school. I graduated right when the economy took a turn for the worst and after a year of library work found myself unemployed. I was lucky that my previous bank employer wanted me back. So here I am again, a long time banker. Change is hard.

He made me smile. Birds always look so stern when you catch them face/head on. Wonderful shot! 🙂

I think all bluebirds are sort of angry birds. He saw me in the window and wasn’t pleased.

Beautiful, despite the fact that he’s a grump!

He IS a grump, but he stayed out there a long time. Long enough for me to go get my camera and then change the lens. He was a grump but he was hungry, and using the top of the dawn redwood tree as a scouting location for succulent bugs. Of which he caught a few.

I remember old time movies where the photographer always said, “Look at the birdie.” Did you insult this bird by saying that to him? 😆📷

He was not happy being watched as he hunted for dinner.

That background shade of green shows off this bird’s colors to perfection.

He looks like you interrupted him … and he’s not happy about it!

He does look unhappy, doesn’t he! I don’t think he was, just concerned about what I was doing.

Spectacular photo! I’m currently camping near Potholes Wildlife Refuge in eastern Washington and have just discovered Yellow-headed Blackbirds. Birds are so wonderful. This bluebird in your photo looks like he is wearing a cape. He’s looking right at you which maybe means he’s curious, or maybe (with that cape) he thinks he’s the lord of the land and the air, which he is. 🙂

He was concerned about what I was doing in the window. He sure is beautiful. I’ve never seen the birds you describe. I hope you get a shot of them!
