BLUE is my favorite color and I have away been drawn to all its hues. It is the color of the sky and the sea. Symbolically it stands for:
depth and stability
heaven
balance of mind and body
loyalty and trust
wisdom
faith
truth
wisdom
Blue is also the color of some of the cutest tiny birds I found in India – let me introduce them to you:
Tickel’s Blue Flycatcher (top photo and below):
India Blue Tit
Shrike
I did play with a little photoshop coloring on this – for the record:
The final offering is the bird du resistance – it is so rare that even the Panna National Park rangers had never seen one before – and it is hard to miss, being brilliantly colored. However they are extremely skittish so I was happy to catch at least a few decent photos.

So, there isn’t just one blue bird of happiness! You are a great spotter.
Thanks so much Wes! Hope you and Elly are doing well and enjoying life!
