Doesn't he look like he's striking a pose or putting his best side forward? LOL
He is a very busy fellow, constantly moving amongst the the trees and foliage. I was pleased when he paused, in an open area and just long enough for this image.

G'morning!!Wow, Bobby, I can't image one without any blue.
Karen, we've always known them as 'Blue Birds'.
Ron and Anita, you are right...I've been trying to capture him for several weeks. They are always busy and moving sooo fast.
