Tree Swallow--Idaho
I took this foto in the wildlife refuge near Bonner's Ferry, Idaho.  I used my Canon 70D with the Canon 5.6L lens. BTW, hello.
I was a member a decade ago---back to the very best website for excellent images and great critiques..Tim

Welcome back Tim, this is a tree swallow however and not a bluebird.

Glad you're back!

Nice image (of a swallow) that should  be posted in the Avian GALLERY. 

That one white stick is pretty distracting, and might be cloned out.

Looking forward to more of your posts and comments!

Sandy

Really cute Swallow.  I like the head turn a lot.

Thanks for the comments.  I realize it should be in the Avian Gallery. Sorry. However, I did remove the little, annoy twig thing. It looks better----cleaner.
