Eastern bluebird
Last Thursday I was excited to see this cute little guy sitting on power lines overhead. Although bluebirds seem to be fairly common in eastern Canada and the eastern U.S., this is the first one I've seen well enough to know for sure what it is.

On the other hand, this is a common bird that appears to be everywhere! And...
House finch
here's another commoner.

We don't have Bluebirds here they are such pretty little birds.We do how ever have sparrows both house and hedge but sadly in decline. Lovely photos today.
The bluebird makes me smile everytime. I love all of the birds.
I've never seen a bluebird in the wild. Sparrows are different story. My bird feeders helped them survive the winter.
I love bluebirds I look forward to seeing them but I am afraid it is snowing here so they would not be very happy. My tree swallows are back I love to see them also I am sure they do not like the snow either:) B
house finch with attitude. they are all three so sweet. i think I like the the sparrow best, but hard to say
Bluebirds are just so beautiful....this one looks like he was posing for you.
What beauties! I love the bluebirds, but they don't survive long in my yard due to the cats.
Such detail. We have Blue Jays but no Bluebirds.
Great shots! We've been getting blue birds here and I sure enjoy watching them.
congrats on the bluebird! i love ours!
I just learned that house finches used to be only a western species. Then pet stores started carrying them for sale in the east. Once that was made illegal, the pet shops let them go into the wild rather than be fined for having them, and that's how they became a coast to coast bird!
Bonjour EG,
Beautiful set of bird portraits, they are all gorgeous!
Hugs and a nice week

They are all so darn cute! Great pictures!
The bluebird is beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
The western blue bird is common around here. This is the first spring I haven't had a pair in my nest box. The swallows got to it first.
I just love bird watching. We have the western Bluebird--very similar---but have never seen one that I know is one. LOl MB
What a fantastic looking trio of birds!
I know what you mean! I think I spotted one on a trip, but mistook it for a robin. Who knew?!
Greetings from Cottage Country!
He is really cute! I've never seen one.
How cute! Sparrows arrived here today!
How pretty. We don't have those near here. It's such fun to see pictures of birds from around the world.
lovely, we have sparrows year round and the finches are expected any day now.
I treasure each moment I can look at an Eastern Bluebird.20 years ago when my husband and I moved into town,we saw our first House Finch and it was considered a rarity.Now they are around all year.
Great capture on the Bluebird!! I have never seen one here.Unfortunately, House Sparrows are declining. Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada

These are all great shots. I love the blue bird especially.

The eastern bluebird really is adorable. I don’t think it is common to my area in the west. I don't recall ever having seen one in real life. Bluebird equals happiness in my mind. :)
You have some wonderful feathered friends! Love the bluebird!
Wonderful photos. I've only seen one bluebird in my life thus far. They are elusive birds around here.
Those are amazing shots. The detail is incredible. The house finch is all I get around here, but I love their morning song. That Eastern bluebird is just precious.
Good for you - nice shots!
Great shots!
Sweet shots of these beauties!
What pretty birds and excellent shots (even the common ones).
There is nothing common about your photos! I'm seriously impressed. These are gorgeous. Very well exposed and nice and sharp with great color! Were you using a long lens with tripod?
Beautiful birds, I never get tired of them.
These birds are beautiful. They are amazing creatures. Your photos do them justice and then some!
Beautiful bird shots!
We have bluebirds here but I've never been lucky enough to photograph one. Wonderful shots!
Beautiful bird pictures you show.
Wishing you a good day.
