Description
I had a small flock of bluebirds visit my yard - they did not make use of the feeders, just my trees and a few berry bushes around the proximity. This gives me some hope for attracting them with mealworms in the spring!The front and side views of this birds face look so different - looks like a sweetheart from the side, but an angry bird from the front! More photos to be uploaded at a later date... I unfortunately did not get any good ones of the males.
Shot through my window.

If that was you who bought it, I want you to know that this was my very first dA print sale
I used to have most of my deviations up for prints, but I took them down, figuring people would request it if they really wanted

You're welcome! I cannot make it available too large because of the crop.

I had to look that one up - looks like it's everywhere! That is quite the compliment Thank you! I'll see about the print. I did crop this vertically (original photo is landscape) but I think it should still be large enough

Like garter snakes -- from the side they look like they are grinning, while from the front they look indifferent at best.
