Photo Of The Day By Paul Holdorf
Photo By Paul Holdorf
Today’s Photo Of The Day is “The Bluebird” by Paul Holdorf. Location: Big Sky, Montana.
“Mountain Bluebirds are usually fairly shy birds,” Holdorf explains. “This one, however, was quite cooperative as I slowly approached in my vehicle with the lens resting on the side view mirror. I was in an undeveloped subdivision so traffic was not a concern. Before I realized it, I was 10 feet away and the bird posed nicely for me!”
