Last week I visited Ed Levin park, on the other side of the valley. Among other birds, I ran into a group of juvenile Western Bluebirds which nicely posed for my camera while they were scouting the ground for bugs.

I have been trying to use the flash to fill the shadows, I hope you like the effect.

    Thanks the comment Dan.
    I have been looking for other places to shoot in the area (the marshes have been kind of slow lately). Last week I learned about a Kingfisher that could be found at this park so I decided to give it a try. Although I didn't have luck with the KF, I ran into these Bluebirds which posed nicely against a nice background.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"
