I found these two birds far apart, but close together in my image library. The eagle photo was taken in southeast Alaska … home to thousands of bald eagles (and my home for a year or so back in the 1970’s). The mountain blue bird photo was taken in Yellowstone. I was more thrilled to see it than I was the eagle, since we don’t have them often where I live … and we have eagles flying over the house on a pretty regular basis.

I agree about the bluebird, Allan. I don’t see them very often either, but we have a resident eagle pair that I see regularly. I love watching them, but I would make a lot of effort to get a photo of the bluebird! Cheers.
I love the blue bird, may I paint it?
