A Bluebird Day on Misty Ridge

Western Bluebird

This day in the Coast Range foothills of western Oregon was about as perfect as a day could be. Temperature just right, birds and butterflies at their best in song and color, and the sunshine interrupted by occasional gentle showers to water the young radishes and zucchini plants.
