| Right on time - March 10th - here came Mr Bluebird to check the nest |
 |
| He sunned himself on the fence after his long trip |
 |
| 2 days later he was gathering nesting materials |
 |
| Then Mrs Bluebird arrived | | |
She has her head to the side as I was whistling to her
The chipmunks came out of hibernation and are dashing around making a lot of noise; the few rabbits that are around are staying out of sight from the eagles and a red-tail hawk that is making this his current territory.
But spring sprung on March 10th with the arrival of the Bluebirds. Two males checked out the nest, had a fight and flew away. Then one came back and sat on the fence. He stayed around flying back and forth, then in 2 days a female joined him. So I have Bluebird mates once more. The other male appears now and then but is driven away by either of the pair. He had the audacity to go up in the nest this morning and Mrs. got very aggravated and drove him away. While I do want to sell the house - the thought of leaving while they are nesting practically brings me to tears. I do love them so. Maybe I can have a Bluebird clause in the contract?
Dear Chris, how wonderful to have a pair of bluebirds for friends. Your photographs are lovely, especially the one of Mrs. Blue cocking her head.
ReplyDeleteHas your house sold or are you now in the midst of getting it ready to put on the market. If I remember correctly you put it on the market last year. Is that right?
I hope that all your plans come to fruition and that the future holds much contentment for you. And . . . some bluebirds . . . of happiness. Do you remember that song?
Peace.
HI Dee - Mostly I remember "There' ll be Bluebirds over the white cliffs of Dover" a song from my childhood. I remember noticing the sadness in peoples' voices when they sang it. Yet it was a song of hope. I am not sure everyone believed the words but they sang it anyway and sure enough a positive end of the war came about.
DeleteIt's breathtaking to me to see the electric flash of a male bluebird taking flight in bright sunlight. We only see them as they migrate through the plains to the mountains in spring. Wish a family would settle in the back yard so we could see them daily.
