Description
Every year Mountain Bluebirds migrate through the Kootenay area of British Columbia, Canada in early spring, bringing their vibrant blue color (males) to local farmers fields in search of food. They are here for a few weeks, and then poof! - just as suddenly as they appear, they are gone. If you are one of the fortunate, you know just where and when to look for them. I lived in the area for over 35 years before I became aware of their existence.
Here a male Mountain blue bird rests on the top of a tree branch, surveying the fields below. It is a brief respite before he darts to the field below for a tasty treat, then flies back to the same spot or other perch to repeat the sequence over and over again.
Fun Fact: The Mountain Bluebird is Idaho's state bird.
