Western and Mountain Blue birds are back in force at Bickleton
right now. My wife and I were there last weekend and saw pairs at many of
the bird boxes along Dot Road and flocks of migrants scattered throughout
the area. I estimate that we saw about 100 Mountain and 75 Westerns along
that road. You will have several months of good opportunities until the
young fledge about mid-June and the birds are not so dependent on the
nest boxes. until that time you can just set up near a box with the
species you wish to photograph and wait for them to pose.
