I heard a bluebird :)

I'm so excited

I moved in my house 2 years ago and there wasn't a wild bird to be found. I put out feeders and put up houses. I got the usual chickadees and cardinals, and crows lol but nothing else. the houses stayed empty and it wasn't till last fall that I got my fist humming birds. But I deffinatly heard a Bluebird this morning. I hope he/she is checking out the houses. Oh how I love spring!!

Canadian geese land at a pond by my house every year coming and going. That was a couple of days ago. Spring at last. March came in like a lion here. It was the only day we saw some stuff that resembled snow.

Enjoy your bluebird.

Yes March came in like a lion here too. The snow was even sticking to the ground here

. That doesn't happen often.

I'm home on my lunch break and I can still hear him sing. I can't see him though maybe it's a female and is blending in. I have to find some meal worms and put them out. Of course my chickens will figure out how to climb the feeder and get them

I have seen Canada geese flying overhead, but it is still only 12F, so, not spring quite yet!

Spring is here! We just had our first pair of the year take up residence in one of our boxes.

Oh I'm so jealous I so hope this one sees my houses and stick around. Maybe if I put up a big sign that reads "vacant Bluebird houses, rent is free"

Start a blog! Seriously it would be so nice my husband started this one on wild birds in our area

here it is if you would like to see it ..also just doing a flicker site is fun and easier than a blog

(hope you do not mind me giving him a shameless plug but this has opened up so much dialog for him with other birders in our area)




bluebirds are magnificant! good for you!!!

I hear the flickers drumming away ..at least a block away this year!!! already and am very relieved my house was not the one of choice (yet) r

usually every spring one very determined boy will start beating on the side of our chimney ..he loved the accoustics I guess...

I love him for about 2 days then it just gets old!!!

I love spring the eagles are nesting over the water ..all the birds are frisky it is coming even though it is very cold out I feel things brightening up! YAY!!!

I love bluebirds! We built our home three years ago and one of the first things we did was put bluebird houses up. Last year my husband got me a large purple martin house and dontcha know, the bluebirds took over the whole 20 room house! But they did hatch 3 babies! They would all come and bathe in the birdbath and dry themselves on the clothesline. I can't wait for spring again! Hopefully yours will decide to nest as well
