 Fortunate I happen to have my camera in-hand, when several Eastern Bluebirds visited my birdbath.

I love Bluebirds! Nice detail and color; looking a little dark on my screen.

Beautiful birds and I like how you have captured two in one shot. The image is rather dark and underexposed overall. You could make it even more attractive by either adjusting exposure (if you have raw images) or by applying levels and curves correction. And if you want to improve it further you can dodge the reflection in the eye to make it brighter.
