Male Mountain Bluebird in Wayne County, Utah – Nikon D810, f6.3, 1/2500, ISO 400, Nikkor 500mm VR with 1.4x TC, natural light
I was going through some of my older photos while thinking about spring yesterday and came across this Mountain Bluebird image.
This photo of a male Mountain Bluebird in Wayne County, Utah made me smile when I thought about the location where it was created because it is so wild and beautiful up there. This was taken way out in the wilderness in front of a small lake that is filled by melting snow under a bright March bluebird sky. No city noises just the whispering of the wind rustling over the land warming up under the sun and the calls of the many birds that live their lives there.
The land where this Mountain Bluebird photo was taken is public land, I got there by traveling over public lands on dirt roads that meanders through a high country sagebrush steppe. This land is our land. It is our Wild.
Life is good.

That dark blue background sets off and compliments the bright Mountain Bluebird. Enough winter already.
I could not stand reading the NYTimes anymore about the state of our nation and was so very pleased that your photos are there as an antidote to the craziness in our nation. Thank you, Mia.
How beautiful, thanks for sharing the love.
What a colour.
I so hope that the current administration can be stopped in some of its insanities.
Nothing more beautiful than a Mountain Bluebird……in the beautiful wild!!
Beautiful and life is good despite the heartache…
The beauty and integrity of Public lands is as endangered, thanks to the new administration’s anti-life, anti-environmental policies, as the eagle was, and may be again! This beautifu shot, with it’s soft, blue of the bird and silvery gray of the weathered wood, may become a rarity in this uncaring era of environmental destruction, science denial and greed driven ignorance….so terribly scary and sad!!!
Beautiful photo, Mia. Bluebirds bring happiness.
This is a perfect example of ” a bluebird day”! Thanks for sharing Mia!
Oh, wow!
What a symphony in blue! Thanks.
Lovely Mia! Great composition.
Stunning Image Mia..Just wonderful coloring
