The Blue Birds are back!
Bluebirds seem to arrive in waves… ours seem to be on a later schedule every year, just when I’m wondering if they will be back, they arrive ready to nest in the boxes along the fence line.

In just a few minutes this female Mountain Bluebird gathered many insects in the beautiful meadow, extremely eager to feed the chicks inside the nesting box, it was all business. What a delight to watch.

The Bluebirds returned for Thanks giving, I don’t know why but they keep coming back about every two weeks!
Your right, I can’t own Bluebirds… but I can put a Bluebird house outside my bathroom window where I enjoy watching this little family from the day they arrive. I’m waiting for fledglings to appear any day now, mom and dad are busy feeding the chicks. They love the big old Northern Spy apple tree to perch in before entering their house. They flitter through the air and hard to catch in flight, I didn’t get a decent shot so had some fun putting together a montage so you can see how they wobble through the air.
