A female yellow-headed blackbird showing her beauty at a nature area in Longmont, Colorado.

In this vertical color photograph, a female yellow-headed blackbird fills the frame as she faces the camera with her head turned slightly to her right, revealing the left side of her face. Her neck is stretched out and her feathers are slightly puffed as her beak is open mid-song. The blackbird is perched on a rounded wooden fence rail. The background is softly blurred, with cattails in varying shades of green creating a natural backdrop.

A beautiful portrait of a female yellow-headed blackbird proudly strutting her stuff.

A juvenile barn swallow stretches its wing at a nature area in Longmont, Colorado. #BlueSkyMonday #BirdOfTheDay #BlueSkies #ECK #bird #birds #birdphotography #birdsofbluesky #nature #wildlife #wildlifephotography #BirdsSeenln2026

A juvenile barn swallow stretches its wing at a nature area in Longmont, Colorado.

In this vertical color photograph, a juvenile barn swallow perches on a dead branch that enters the frame from the center right and curves upward toward the left center. The swallow faces the camera with its head turned to its left, while its left wing stretches downward so far that it extends beyond the bottom of the frame. Its head is hunched downward and outward, adding to the unusual and intriguing posture. The background is a brilliant blue sky, characteristic of Colorado’s 300-plus days of sunshine each year.

A beautiful and intriguing moment of a juvenile barn swallow stretching on a dead branch beside a wetland habitat so vital to its survival.

I apologize for my tardy replies! I’ve been driving for the past week, helping move my mother-in-law and her partner from Phoenix, Arizona, to Colorado. It’s been crazy, and it looks like it will continue to be for a while!
