Mountain Bluebird... third time ever reported in Florida.

[Joseph Przybyla]

I captured this image along Trilby Road in Pasco County, Florida. I read on Florida Birdbrains of the sighting, Dottie and I went there early yesterday morning. This image is a large crop out of necessity. The morning was dark and cloudy, about twenty or so birders were there from all around Florida. I had to photograph from a distance not wanting to be the one to flush the bird that was a lifetime sighting for all present. I couldn't add a teleconverter because light would not allow at reasonable settings. So the image is what it is, I wish I could have moved closer. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.
