Photo of the Day
There’s an effort by a group in our neighborhood to help increase the number of bluebirds in our area here in Northern Illinois. We’ve spotted them on rare occasions over the years, so 2 years ago we put up a house to attract them, which they’ve pointedly ignored both years, This year, I’m happy to say, it looks like they are nesting in our yard. Not in the house we bought for them, of course, but in holes drilled by a woodpecker in an old birch tree in our front yard.
Beautiful little guy, isn’t he?
Happy spring, everyone!
Beautiful bluebird,
Thanks John! I’m hoping they stick around for a while.
I applaud your efforts and this photo is wonderful. 🙂
Thanks! They are still showing up every day so hope remains!
So although it’s been a long time since I read nursery rhymes to my kidlets, I do remember Sing a Song of Sixpence. You’re not thinking bluebird pie, right, Lesley? 😛
Ha! No, not at all. I promise! 🙂 They’re too pretty to eat.
Wouldn’t it be nice if they raise a family and they all stick around. 🙂
I’d love it! If they do, I’ll definitely post a follow up!
They must be related to cats, liking only that which isn’t bought specifically for them………..LOL
Great news!
Thanks!
