Western bluebird (Sialia mexicana)

Just before leaving the Bosque, after a long day of birding the southern loop of the refuge, visiting the exhibit tent, seeing that ladder-backed woodpecker by the visitors' center ... as I walked back to my car I spotted a few birds in the trees around the carpark - Common Raven, Yellow-rumped Warbler, and this Western Bluebird and his mate.
