Lodgepole Pines and Mountain Bluebirds

From Yellowstone National Park:




Lodgepole pine trees at Fountain Paint Pot, which have drowned in the super-heated water of the shifting thermal features, provide good habitat for this cavity nesting mountain bluebird. The male (pictured) feeds the female while she is incubating the eggs and they both feed the nestlings after they hatch.
