Ok, I know the motif this week is red but I just had to post another bird with blue. :roll: This one was taken earlier the same morning as the Mountain Bluebird, near the entrance to Robinson Canyon in eastern Washington

I do like the composition you've selected here. The blue with all that green really stands out. Nicely Done.

Small in the frame and still getting a clean background is difficult. I think you made it work very well. This is excellent!!

Hi Michael. I think this is extremely well done. The colorfully bird, while small in the frame, really stands out against the dark green BG. I also think the berries and open bill and a lot to this shot. I like this a great deal.
