Western Bluebirds
Western bluebirds still on CR 207 1/2 mile from the dacha. Chased half heartedly by kestrel. 10-12 of them.

Here’s a couple of very nice pix by Dennis Palafox taken at the coast recently.
Here’s an interesting bird. Near Denton Article about Leucism and Albinism
Here’s my second lifer of the trip. Also from near Lincoln, Montana in same burned woodlands. Although we didn’t study this one in B3, I think you can figure it out
And so it goes — Grackles are next. They’re actually fun on the Bolivar Peninsula!! (you’re on you own for females (ask the males)).
