Up here in Edmonton area I've photographed them occasionally and even in sunlight the head was only slightly blue. IOW they tended to look all black so it seems, like starlings, you've got to catch the light at just the right angle.

Thanks Alan. It was in shadow and soft light and a bit of luck. Yes, at first sight it looked like a blackbird, somehow.

Thanks Click. Finally we are out of the winter's grey and brown colors. Fresh green leaves and colorful birds are our treats for our eyes during spring-summer.

A Tree Swallow at the door of its home. Playful, colorful and difficult to shoot them when flying but this one was feeding its cheeks and stayed for a few seconds.

Not much from the weekend: Saturday I choose to go to the albatross preserve - no shade on the trail there (except your own) no clouds and bitterly hot. 7 miles there and back, the last 3.5 were painful. Just a photos of a Laysan Albatross chicks - all the reward. Today it was better - trail with some trees/shade. Also very hot and the light was difficult (birds hidden in the shades). At least challenging and more fun! In the case with the Red-billed Leiothrix I'm not sure who had more will to see the other guy in FF (I was hiding too
)!
Maybe not that colorful photos but I strongly prefer the real colors...

Hi, I have been on vacation since 5/1 and still have another week left. I have been out every day chasing warblers and everything else. It's been a great warbler year so far, 33 species, in Milwaukee County! Best one was an ultra rare (for my area) Black-throated Gray Warbler. He hung around the same place for a couple days, providing great views. I'm close to 40,000 pictures already this month, so I haven't had much time to edit. Here a few though, that are highly coveted among warbler watchers, which I was fortunate to get awesome photos of.
