I know everyone is really tired of looking at titmice, nuthatches and finches ( I know I am and they're my pics ) so when my first eastern bluebird showed up today it sure brightened things up. I don't know who enjoyed the sunshine and warmer temps the most, me or the birds, as it sure started some of them singing.

C&C welcome as always.

Thanks for looking!

Eastern bluebird - my first

A beautiful set Mike, that Eastern Bluebird is a fabulous looking little fella. The quality of them all is first rate so don't ever think we would get tired of seeing them.

Wow, you managed to even make the lowly house sparrow look stunning.
