Female Mountain Bluebird

A couple of evenings ago, I went with a gentleman who has had a Bluebird nesting box route for something like 25 years, recording and banding the various birds he finds. These include Tree Swallows, too. This is the third year in a row that I have gone on this drive south of the city and I enjoy it every time. I'd like to say that I deliberately took this blurred in-flight shot - but you all know better, LOL! Seemed too pretty to delete!
