Bluebirds and Happiness
Look who's back! These bluebirds may well be my favourite bird. I look forward every year to the flash of their wings -- that deep indescribably blue blue, and their friendly 'cheery cheery cheep' song.
Drop into this website, and listen to the second song in the listing.
We build boxes for them with great care, ensuring that the entrance holes are just right, and that there are plenty to choose from. These birds love the garden, and the open lawns, but they also like to be close to the trees, so our garden is a great location for them. Their diet of bugs and fruits are readily available from these nest boxes, and it's easy to spot them swooping down from their high perch on the wire fence!
We have at least two pair here -- they arrived day before yesterday, but they're not so easy to photograph, and it was just today, after the sun came back out, that I was able to snap these photos!
