Bluebird of happiness...............

High up on the roof................

........and when she sees me leave, she swoops down 

toward the tatty old birdhouse in the front 
garden where her waiting family are tucked away 
out of sight. 

The babies have hatched as I hear 
a tiny cheep, cheep now and then. The parents are busy 
flying back and forth with assorted bugs and worms.......but what's 
frustrating is that I can't see inside 
to determine how many in the new family. 

Over the years several species of garden birds have 

raised young here..........but this is the first 

time a pair of beautiful Eastern Bluebirds chose 

to build a nest and raise a family. 

Above, the brilliant cobalt blue feathers of the male.

Any spring babies in your garden yet?
