A Western bluebird sitting among some small bare branches. The bird has a blue head and wings, a rusty colored chest and a light gray underbelly. There is clear blue sky behind it.

Thank you, Gin! 🙏

🙏 Oh, they all know something, but just try to get one to tell you. Nothing, no clues, no hints, just that smug look. 😂

Very cool -- thanks for sharing this! I'll think of this story whenever I see coots (as well as the role of the scrub jay, which I also see here).

I hope Leo appreciates the irony.
