Apparently, we lost a lot of bluebirds in Minnesota a couple of weeks ago when quite a bit of snow fell after the birds had moved into their nesting mode. It made food difficult to get, and the cold conditions required more energy use than they could handle. There were reports of people seeing small flock0ettes of blue birds standing around in the snow literally dropping dead one by one. This is unverified but reported on the local public radio.
Nice photo.
