Mountain Bluebird, Male
Cripple Creek, CO - We were lucky to see wildlife in and around the area. The Mountain Bluebird [Sialia Currucoides] is a medium-sized bird weighing about 30 g (1.1 oz) with a length from 16–20 cm (6.3–7.9 in). They have light underbellies and black eyes. Adult males have thin bills and are bright turquoise-blue and somewhat lighter underneath. Adult females have duller blue wings and tail, grey breast, grey crown, throat and back. [Wiki]
