Mountain Bluebird 1, Male seen in the logs and washed up trees on the shore
line. This is the second of his kind seen by me in three years at Point
Wilson. All the wind from the past three days must have blown him in from
somewhere. He allowed me to acquire 50 or so images of him, he was a beauty,
brought a smile to my face.
