Osprey and Western Bluebird

Last Sunday, on my first a trip to Rose Canyon Lake on Mt. Lemmon I saw my very first Osprey and Western Bluebird. At first glance of the osprey's white head, I had hoped it was a bald eagle, but an Osprey is still a new bird for me.

I still have yet to see an eagle in the wild! I'm also fairly certain this was my first western bluebird sighting. I've seen lots of mountain and eastern bluebirds, but I'm not convinced I'd seen a western bluebird.
