A sweet little female western bluebird (Sialia mexicana), taken on my last Central Oregon jaunt.

That's a hungry looking colt there, Ski! Hope there's enough grazing to go around.

The little colt had very long legs, not like your usual mustang. Its right rear leg had a limp that appeared to be in the lower leg or hoof. If it does not heal, it will not survive.

Looks like Mr 3pin and The Lady were pretty close to the ponies. Very cool!

Story coming, as you may have guessed.....

Awesome shot with excellent texture, Steve. Are you sure it's not a male?

I've had a nesting pair of WBB at my back lot in Grass Valley.
 
Andy, I had both the male and the female at the blind. All of the bluebirds were in really bright breeding plumage. Here's a shot of the male to show the deeper blue on the head of the male.

Ahhhh. Gotcha!
 
I don't know if this counts. This is a screen capture from a video. It was around 7 feet away from the end of my inflatable pontoon, and the fish was around 7 foot. I had another one do this last Sunday and when it landed it hit me. I didn't get a video of that one but the bottom picture is that fish.

OK, I have to throw at least one in here..I'm not much of a birder but think this is an immature Prairie Falcon.

Ok, here's another...Do all the wildlife and birds need to be domestic?? I spent some time in Tanzania 5or 6 years ago and have lots of great wildlife photo's from there..

Park, nice shot of the sphinx moth. Any chance this was at real high elevation?
Taken near Cody, Wyoming up in the Sunlight Basin area. Moose taken in Grand Teton National Park.

Mister Flicker...

Just wow. This shot has wonderful detail, Steven.
Nice Flicker shot, one of my favorite birds, often heard before being seen.
The front badge of black, plus the red cheeks make this a showy bird in our neck of the woods.
