Eastern Bluebird – Hanging By A Claw
Early one morning in late May I noticed two Eastern Bluebirds making their way to and from a birdhouse that had been placed in the yard. They were busy supplying their young brood with a constant food supply. I managed to capture several photos of the two parents as they returned with captured insects This photo was one of my favourites since it displays the exact split second the birds claw made contact with the steeple of the light post where the bird would land.
