Week 22 – Mountain Bluebird

The beauty of the Mountain Bluebird tempts me every week. I am out on the bluebird trail frequently this summer and have the opportunity to see these birds up close and personal. Many of you already know that Wild Lens is producing a half-hour documentary about bluebirds and Idaho bluebird legend Alfred Larson entitled Bluebird Man. I have been holding off on using the bluebird as my weekly photo, but couldn’t restrain myself any longer!

On July 1st, Wild Lens will begin a crowd-sourced fundraising campaign via Kickstarter to help fund production and distribution costs for Bluebird Man. We are hoping to raise a significant portion of the funds we need to finish making this film via Kickstarter. Without going into further detail just yet, we simply hope you will join us July 1st in supporting this homegrown film about one man’s role in the history of bluebird conservation in North America. Until next week!
