    This is a first year hatchling female Eastern Bluebird. I've been fortunate, this year, to have two juveniles from my resident pair's last brood stick around and often join the adults when I offer them mealworms.

    This was taken with my Canon Rebel XTi and 100-400mm lens at a focal length of 400mm. I used aperture priority 5.6, 1/60, ISO 400 with exposure compensation plus 2/3

    (I tried several times, uploading this as a larger file, I double checked the file size, which was less than the maximum requirements, but it was rejected, so that is why the file size is small.)

    Very nice colors and BG. The bird looks sharp. A nice head turn would be good...perhaps making a noise to get his attention. You sure have some nice little friends.

    I can live without the head turn for two reasons.

    1. There's still a catchlight in the eyes
    2. I get the impression that the little one is thinking about what to do next.
