Small bird. Blue head and wings. Short, black beak. Dark legs. Approx 6" long.

Can be found all over Western North America near forest edges. This one lives in Yellowstone NP near the fountain paint pots.

The last photo is an action shot where the bluebird was attacking a chipmunk. Not sure why but it was fun to watch.
