Bluebird Watch

The snow has melted, the sun is shinning

and I have Bluebirds on my mind.

On our property we have 5 bird houses that have been

home to a few Bluebird families in the past.

In February 2007, the Bluebirds returned a little too early and

we discovered two males huddled and frozen in one house.

Last year the Bluebirds failed to return here so

most of the houses were occupied by Carolina Wrens.

The wrens would often perch on this basket and sing .

Here's young wrens exploring the back porch-

a very young one alone on a tree-

and a young one hiding out under a shady bench.

Although Carolina Wrens are my favorite, with

their perky tail and beautiful song-

I would love to see Bluebirds here again.

So - I'm on a "Bluebird Watch" - starting today.

I would like to have the opportunity to take better photos of them !!!
