I love them, Dave. She has such subtle beauty, a quiet dignity. You've captured her spirit beautifully, as always. Thank you.

Thanks Dave - I agree with Kathy - subtle and beautiful.... she has quite a little personality that shines through... I love the one where she is lifting one foot as if the deck were cold!

I had 3 males drinking warm water from my birdbath this morning and wished you were here with your camera to capture the moment for me! They were all fluffed out (it was 18 degrees here in Ga which is unusual)...I think they were my first fledglings from last spring - only 3 eggs hatched and they were all little boys....

Thanks again for sharing this beautiful girl with us!

Glad you enjoy them. Here are a few of her taken this morning.

Thanks Dave. You have no idea how much I (we) appreciate your photos. She's a beauty.
We lost our elderly Mama Girl in September, and we miss her terribly. The young girls are still around, and they seem to be entertaining a few young boys, but Dad still rules the roost. Here's hoping he finds a new Mama for next season.

Thank you Carol. My sentiments exactly.

Dave

This first one is not completely female, but at least half.

Dave, I would very much like to use one of your images (not sure which one yet) to display on the front page of the upcoming edition of the Maryland Bluebird Society's newsletter. I promise to give you credit if you will give me permission.
Thanks,
Kathy

So much detail, Dave. Beautiful. Looks like she's letting a bit of her floozy out on the 3rd one! My blues are beginning to think spring. Had one male on a nestbox early yesterday morning singing his little heart out! It's wonderful to see the sun and warmer temps on the same day!
By the way, I think the new camera is gonna work out just fine!

WOW Dave. Everytime I see your photographs, that is all I can think of. WOW. These are truly AWESOME shots of my most favorite songbird. I adore them, and the little females are so beautiful and special. Is she losing brood patch feathers? Can almost see a brood patch in the 3rd shot. I imagine that is a hormonally based process, and I'd think that now would be the time that it would happen. So cool!!!! Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful photos. They really make me happy!! :O)
