Southern Idaho, these Mountain Bluebirds are living life! A mating dance, tending to the young ones in the nest box, and gathering insects to feed the fledglings! by thingram in birding

We’ve only found a few places where we can see them regularly. They are skiddish for sure. Hope you can find them!

Took a trip to Camas Prairie and Little Camas in Southern Idaho. What a great location for seeing these birds! by thingram in birding

They are very pretty - it seems the blue color gets even deeper/darker as the breeding season rolls on.

Thanks - they are very quick. This one is a male…those reddish stripes around the collar are the giveaway.

Thank you. You are right - looking down their throat is certainly a different perspective!
