Bluebirds

 What fun to see these Bluebirds up close.  

They came and sat in front of the living room window several times during the day. 

The female posed and then caught a green bug, lunch?  

The male came and stretched out his wings in the sunshine.  

Got Vitamin D?

I have seen birds going in and out of the Bluebird box, I'm hoping it was this pair and soon we will see fledged baby bluebirds. 

I wish Dad and Ev were here to see these beauties.  They loved Bluebirds so much!  

I remember one Spring when they opened Gus's cabin in the Barrens for the summer, they found several Bluebirds that had made their way down the chimney into the wood stove and then could not get out.  Dad and Ev were traumatized by finding these dead birds.  It wasn't long at all before the problem was fixed to never let that happen again.  

I'm enjoying these Bluebirds all the more, knowing how much Dad and Ev would have loved to see beautiful birds in my yard.
