Mountain Bluebird in Homer!



Mountain Bluebird Sialia currucoides, Homer, 18 November 2009.
Perched alone on the top of a birch, I pulled over to take a look at what I was expecting to be an American Robin. Instead, this Mountain Bluebird made for a big surprise on my way home from town today. It moved around frequently, but finally settled down in a choke cherry on the west side of the Church of Christ, East End Road. There is a lot of fruit on the trees in town right now so maybe it will stick around.
