The Design:

The design features a side profile of a mountain bluebird in flight.  The songbird’s fine features are showcased from its pointed black bill to the feathers of the tail and outstretched wings by recreating the bluebird’s sky blue plumage. The sky blue adds vibrant colour against the foothills of the Rocky Mountains.
