This is a good time of year to look out of the windows of the house and observe the little birds that fly around our home. The absence of leaves on the trees gives you a clear view of birds like robins, sparrows, chickadee, cardinals, bluebirds, woodpeckers, bluejays, etc.. And many of birds seem to love the seeds on the crape myrtle right next to the deck. You have to pay close attention. The first thing that draws your attention is the chirping that you can hear outside even though all the doors and windows are closed. Most of the birds tend to blend in with the rather grey background. But those like the bright red cardinals and the bluejays do stand out.
I was having my tea one evening, looking out the back window, when I thought I saw a flash of blue. I was not mistaken. It was a bluebird. In fact, there seemed to be a couple of them flying between the maple and the crape myrtle trees. The birds are so small, you have to pay particular attention to track them. Soon the bluebird flew out of sight. But I had a certain feeling about it. I went upstairs to retrieve my camera and put a zoom lens on it.
I could not see the birds when looking out of the different windows upstairs in the back of the house, but soon after I returned to the kitchen and the place I was having my tea, the bird returned to a branch on the crepe myrtle. I was prepared this time.
The bird was facing the opposite direction.
In fact I got a good picture of its butt! 
It seemed to sense my presence even though I was in the house and behind the window.
It slowly turned around and stared at me. I grabbed the shot before it was too late.
It posed for me.
A few seconds later it was gone.
I think it was a eastern bluebird, but somebody can correct me if I am wrong.
