bluish bird on Mt. Hood

Post by adamschneider » October 5th, 2015, 5:09 pm

I saw this bluish bird on the NE side of Mt. Hood a couple weeks ago, near the "Mooney Tarn" at about 7000'. My bird book suggests it might be a female mountain bluebird (Sialia currucoides); what does the peanut gallery think?

Here is a couple seen a little above the Mooney Tarn in July.
