Code Blue

Last spring, this male mountain bluebird is enduring a storm of heavy, wet snow while perched in a cattle pasture. Even in such weather, they do their best to find insects, insect eggs, or insect pupae.

 

The great grey owl is much better adapted for handling such inclement weather, but over the years, I have been very impressed with the tenacity of mountain bluebirds as they cope with wild swings in the spring weather.
