As much as I enjoy shooting pictures of the blues for their beauty, I am equally fascinated by their behavior. They have claimed my nestbox and every day they physically defend it against all comers. Even a robin, which is not normally a threat to the blues, will be challenged if he tries to land on the nestbox. I watched it this morning and captured more than a dozen images before the contest ended. This is probably the best of the lot. Incidentally, the robin did eventually win.

This is the kind of scene you sometimes see but rarely, if ever, see captured on film.
