Eastern Bluebird Photos

Photography by Terry Sohl

My Favorite: It always takes me a bit by surprise when I see a bluebird. You usually first just see this impossibly blue flash, and when you first look at it, sometimes it just doesn't seem real. They're a species I do see relatively often, but they also are usually pretty camera shy! The photo below is my favorite photos of the species, near Beaver Creek Nature Area east of Brandon, on May 8th, 2020.
