I felt like the fence and brownish background made for a good backdrop. Bluebirds typically sit in the open on power lines or along fences, with an alert, vertical posture. When they drop to the ground after an insect, they make a show of it, with fluttering wings and a fairly slow approach, followed by a quick return to the perch. https://pixels.com/featured/eastern-bluebird-on-fence-chad-meyer.html #birds #nature #wildlife https://cdn.masto.host/photog/media_attachments/files/111/008/633/977/841/785/original/d751cbb4b13bec34.jpeg npub1m4kn4hlrws9hakackqd7pepnmd287psgjqgpw0nfj7gzp2cetj9smpwxm9 Planet Chad Photography @npub1aqe…6fyj I really enjoy their song! npub1m4kn4hlrws9hakackqd7pepnmd287psgjqgpw0nfj7gzp2cetj9smpwxm9 Planet Chad Photography @npub1jcm…7kud I'm into photography so photog.social made the most sense npub1m4kn4hlrws9hakackqd7pepnmd287psgjqgpw0nfj7gzp2cetj9smpwxm9 Planet Chad Photography A Carolina Chickadee that is a little wet from a recent rain perched on a plant checking out the area food.
