Mountain Blue bird sitting on a fence post, photo by Jim O'Donnell, Fountain Creek watershed, Colorado.

I captured this little Western blue bird in some old pastureland in the Fountain watershed of #Colorado. He was one of many, eating and playing in the duff gathered at the base of the collapsing fence. #FountainBook #Birds #Wildlife
