A Study in Blue

To be able to watch a bluebird family grow and thrive on our property is a priceless gift!

The persistence of patience

Many years ago, I put up some bluebird houses on our fenceline. And for many years, the tree swallows happily took up residence therein. That's cool. Tree swallows are beautiful and feisty, and are most welcome to act as pest control in our air space. But this year .. at long last .. a pair of Eastern Bluebirds are making their home here!

Happy spring, my friends!

Fine feathered friends

We have finally had a break from the snowing and blowing .. long enough to get outside and spend some quality time with my little chickadees!
