Bluebird Bar and Grill

As I was making my coffee one morning last week, I saw a flash of blue outside the kitchen window. I went out on the back porch to see what it was. To my amazement, there were Eastern Bluebirds all over the place! Some were hopping on the ground looking for worms. Some were bathing in the water pan while others were trying to get a drink, which led to several spats to see who was king (or queen) of the water pan. Still others were at my feeders, up in the trees, and on the bird houses. My dog and I sat out and watched them for an hour, then they all took off just as quickly as they'd come. I thought I had seen the last of them, but I looked out 30 minutes later and they were all in the front yard at my feeders and the big bird bath. They stayed about 30 minutes more, then they were gone again. I'm hoping they aren't just stopping by on their way to Mexico or some other Winter destination farther South than us, because I would love to see a repeat performance.

Bravo little bluebirds...you made my day.

Encore, encore!!
